MORNING SENTINEL • December 17, 2020
Growing up, visiting the mountains and forests of Maine made me realize that this is where I wanted to be. But things are changing. We are losing our wild places, little chunks of ourselves bit by bit. As environmental devastation encroaches and the impacts of climate change continue to mount, the cost of inaction is steep. More and more species are threatened or going extinct. The Gulf of Maine is one of the fastest warming bodies of water in the world, which already is impacting the lobster fishery. These problems are happening to us, right now. This is why we need to protect 30% of our lands and ocean by 2030. Please encourage Sen. Susan Collins to support the “Thirty by Thirty Resolution to Save Nature.” ~ Laura Sokoloski, Waterville
