At a time when the price of everything seems to be climbing, taking action on climate change can feel like a luxury. But across New England, people are finding that their efforts to reduce their impact on the planet are also saving them money.
Our journalists have spent months uncovering how reuse, repair, and rethinking are helping both the planet and our collective wallets, from appliance repairs in your home to town-wide electrification efforts.
Hear this special series on Morning Edition and All Things Considered beginning Mon., April 20, 2026. Listen on your radio, through NHPR's mobile app, or by asking your smart speaker to play NHPR.
And we want to hear from you:
Is climate change making it more expensive for you to run your business or live in your home? Have rising costs led you to change any of your personal actions related to climate change?
Your experiences help us shape a more complete picture of life in New England today. Share your thoughts by emailing us at Voices@nhpr.org.

Living Planet
As our planet faces an ever-evolving climate crisis and environments change, Living Planet transports you to different corners of the globe to meet the people on the frontlines, explore solutions, tackle misinformation, and marvel at the wondrous, extraordinary aspects of the non-human world around us.
Locally produced, locally powered
Behind the headlines you read on our website, there’s a dedicated team of journalists working hard to bring you local news you can trust. On any given day, that can look like:
- • Reporters hustling to track down sources, get the facts and hold powerful officials accountable
- • Producers coordinating interviews with people who offer perspectives that go beyond soundbites
- • Editors carefully vetting our stories to make sure they’re accurate, fair and easy to follow
I believe that journalists, when we do our jobs well, can play a crucial role in connecting people and making communities stronger. But we can’t do this work without you.
Your donations, in any amount, can help keep independent journalism vibrant in New Hampshire — and accessible to everyone, no paywall required.
Sincerely,
Dan Barrick
News Director
