Yes, there are several large-scale solutions to the unprecedented warming of our planet, which any individual can become a part of.
Please join Cook Memorial Library and Chocorua Lake Conservancy on Wednesday, October 25, at 7PM via Zoom, for “Big Solutions to Climate Change,” with David Kunhardt, retired solar leader, long-time climate advocate, and member of the Chocorua Lake Conservancy Board and the Tamworth Energy Committee. David will discuss the current climate emergency; the need for added national climate policy action to meet national goals; the Citizens Climate Lobby proposal of a Carbon Fee on fossil polluters, with cash rebates for all citizens; the proposal by several organizations to reduce existing greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere via carbon dioxide capture, storage, and use; and the “30 by 30” goal—conserving at least 30 percent of lands and seascapes globally by 2030—and the role local land trusts can play in meeting that goal.
Bring your questions and come prepared for a discussion!

In 2007, he began to address climate change, and shifted to the finance of solar energy. In 2020, he retired as a co-founder and CEO of SolEd Benefit Corp., which arranged solar partnerships for schools and cities to save them money as they committed to clean energy. Since 2013, David has also been volunteering for Citizens Climate Lobby, including the Marin County and Portland, ME, chapters, and the ME chapter of the Foundation for Climate Restoration. He is also a trained Climate Reality Leadership Corps presenter, and now a member of the Tamworth Energy Committee.
