Across New Hampshire, small towns plug in solar
One of the most satisfying comments Ray Danforth hears from people about the solar array on the roof of the Shelburne Town Hall is “I never even noticed it.”

👏🏼👏🏼 South Korea just passed a national law requiring all large parking lots (those with more than 80 spaces) to install solar canopies!
That means every supermarket, office, and mall lot could soon double as a clean energy hub, feeding power into the grid and making smarter use of space! 🌞

Passed in 1972, the Marine Mammal Protection Act has been a lifeline for whales, dolphins, manatees, sea otters, and so many others.
It’s one of the reasons no marine mammal species has gone extinct in U.S. waters in over 50 years.
But right now, this landmark law is under threat ⤵️
