With the 50th celebration of Earth Day recently, I have been thinking about the ways people have adapted as we work to “flatten the curve” of the pandemic and whether they might help minimize our ecological footprint, longer term. As an organizer with NextGen Maine in Lewiston, I talk every day to young people who have been motivated by this crisis to get involved in politics for the first time. Now, more than ever, is the time to join in the conversation, to listen to top experts and scientists and work to not only flatten the curve, but continue to help create a more sustainable world. ~ Elise Shulman-Reed, Lewiston
