With critical funding being cut and clawed back, how can NH’s environmental community maintain momentum to protect our environmental values? NH Network’s 4th Annual KEEP NH GREEN Environmental Summit aims to provide role models of folks who refuse to be deterred.
OUR PRESENTERS are NH energy champions. They’ll give hope and inspiration, and evidence of what can be accomplished “in our own backyards.”
Laurene Allen, Goldman Environmental Prize winner (2025), whose persistence and investigation brought PFAS to public attention, eventually leading to St. Gobain’s exit from NH.
Melissa Elander & Gabe Chelius, Clean Energy NH Circuit Riders, know what can be done in NH communities. They work directly with municipalities and small businesses, helping to prioritize, fund and bring to fruition projects that save energy and money, earning the trust of climate skeptics.
Jamie Henn is Founder-Director of Fossil Free Media, a non-profit media lab powering campaigns like Clean Creatives, Make Polluters Pay, and Sun Day -- a national mobilization to celebrate the power of clean energy on September 21, 2025. Together with Bill McKibben, Jamie co-founded 350.org and served as long-time Strategic Communications Director.
WHY: We need to hear from champions who see opportunity when environmental hopes seem dim. We need time together, networking and brainstorming, to maintain our determination and momentum. By advancing environmental projects in our own communities, we are more likely to win support, educate our fellow-citizens, bring them on board as volunteers, and build a more engaged and cohesive community. NH Network’s 4th Annual Summit aims to strengthen the state’s growing community of environmental champions, as we consider “What YOU can do in your community.”
Who is attending? interested citizens, NH legislators, representatives of NH's enviro organizations, members of local energy & sustainability committees -- this is an opportunity to share and plan together! Please join us, and share this invitation with others.
ORGANIZED BY:
NH Network is an all-volunteer, nonpartisan group sharing information and actions on environmental challenges to help create a more sustainable New Hampshire. More at www.newhampshirenetwork.org; newhampsh...@gmail.org
NH Network thanks Community Action Works and the private donors whose funding makes this Summit possible.
