RE: Watch the Earth: The Sequel Video

Michael Mascola and I were at Town Hall this evening for the EE meeting - not making a quarum, we did not hold a meeting.  I brought the "recycling" poster this evening and since Michael will be at the Community Center on Tuesday morning he now has it and will being to there to put up.
 
My search for "energy minutes" turned up www.energysavers.gov as an interesting source of energy and cost savings tips.
 
Mike

Hi All,
 
Thought this book may be of interest to you.  I just ordered a copy, so you can borrow mine when I'm done or order your own, if it sounds like one you'd like to pass around. 
 
Just a reminder, we are scheduled to have a meeting next Monday (March 10th) at the Town Hall at 7pm.
 
Michelle

Earth: The Sequel. The Race to Reinvent Energy and Stop Global Warming
Preorder Earth: The Sequel

Dear Michelle,


You've heard about Earth: The Sequel.
Watch the video.

Over a year ago, my colleague, Miriam Horn, and I set off on a journey to tell the story of farsighted inventors and entrepreneurs racing to revolutionize the way we meet our energy needs.

The result of our journey is Earth: The Sequel -- a hopeful call to arms on the urgent need to embrace the race to reinvent energy and stop global warming.

I'd like you to introduce you to a few of the most inspiring energy innovators we met. These people are in the vanguard of a new generation of global warming solutions.

Watch our online video now.

I hope these amazing innovators and the visionary new technologies they are developing will help us transform our planet's greatest environmental crisis into our greatest economic opportunity.

We can do our part by keeping up grassroots pressure on leaders in Washington to cap America's global warming pollution and reward energy innovation. This starts with an inspiring message of hope that we can solve the global warming crisis if we act now.

Watch our online video and get inspired.

Thank you for being part of this adventure.

Sincerely,
Fred Krupp
President

P.S. All profits from sales of this book will go to support EDF's global warming campaign.

P.P.S. If you have already pre-ordered the book, thank you. If you haven't yet, you can pre-order directly through Amazon.com.

Subject: February Minutes

 

Hi Everyone,
 
Attached are the February meeting minutes.  Please review and let me know if you have changes.  If not, I will submit a draft copy to Barbara at Town Hall.
 
I met with Julia Dundorf of the Carbon Challenge yesterday for a business meeting, but she was also one of the people that got the town resolution petitions moving.  TheCarbon Challenge, in partnership with UNH and Clean Air Cool Planet have created a program that challenges NH residents to become more energy efficient, thus lowering our 'carbon output'.  Their website has a carbon calculator and list of suggestions for reducing your energy use.  The list allows you to check off things you are already doing or commit to do.  By completing the form and sending it to the Carbon Challenge, they will track what NH people are doing to address global warming.  They are very committed people and interested in spreading the positive message - like households are responsible for 40% of the greenhouse gases the US generate, so we have power, we can be 40% of the solution!  Please take time to look at the website, so that the EE committee can talk about whether we (as a town) would like to participate and challenge other local towns to see if they can do better.  I entered my commitment, so Atkinson has at least one entry.
 
Jim talked with Frank Polito and Noriko regarding putting up storyboards during the March 11th election.  They approved it as long as we don't talk to people and hold them up.  (Jim mentioned that we might not even have anyone there - just the signs.)  As the minutes mention, Michelle (and family) will be responsible for the Energy EFficiency poster and Mike Jackson (and family) will be responsible for the Recycling poster.
 
I left a message for Barbara and will let you know when I hear from her whether meeting on the second Monday for April and May will be ok.

Hi All,
 
I think we'll keep the meeting on Tuesday (7 pm @ Town Hall) this time to avoid another cancelled session, since the majority can make it.  Michael, is Tuesday now a bad night for you or just this particular Tuesday?  It would be nice to set up a regular meeting date that all can attend.  I will keep minutes of the meeting and send them out immediately after.

Hi Everyone,
 
I've already booked the Town Hll for Tuesday, but will reschedule if everyone can make it on another night.  Wednesday is a possibility for me.  Thursday is Valentine's Day, so I'm sure everyone has other plans.  Please try to let me know ASAP - I need to post the meeting in two public places by Monday morning.
 
Thanks,
Michelle

Hi Everyone,
 
Sorry about the delay getting back on schedule - I tracked down my keys, so if the majority is available, I've scheduled a meeting for next Tuesday at the Town Hall at 7pm.  I will post it with the following agenda:
 
Election of officers
Discuss plans for 2008
 
Look forward to seeing everyone!!
 
Michelle
