New England is awash in historic markers, but a handful of plaques popping up in a New Hampshire town are different.
Rather than commemorating important people or places in history, many of these dinner plate-size signs detail events like rising sea levels and an explosion of ticks that have yet to happen — part of an effort to draw attention to the potential effects of climate change.
"There seems to be difficulty in getting people to engage in this issue," he said."We do hear about it fairly often. Yet, people don't think of it in an immediate way." To counter that apathy, Starr and others have turned to public art to get the message out that climate change is coming to New England communities. The markers imagine events like a boathouse destroyed in a storm surge from a Category 4 hurricane on Sept. 24, 2032, or a heat-inspired tick outbreak that forced a park to close on June 8, 2044.
"It's a good thing. At least we can say to our grandchildren that we did something," said Adam Perkins, a tow truck driver from Durham, who was looking at a renewable energy plaque at town hall recently.
