PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • January 26, 2021
I’m sure we are all grateful for the temperate days just as last summer’s severe droughts made it easier to get out. However, will my child experience a Maine with the climate of the mid-Atlantic? How many poor-air-quality days will there be, or will those be the norm and not the exception? How many ecosystems will be disrupted or destroyed? Thankfully, the Mills administration and the Maine Climate Council are taking bold steps to change what might be an otherwise bleak outlook through the Climate Action Plan. Reach out and encourage your lawmakers to make the Climate Action Plan a reality and ensure a habitable Maine, where we can lead healthy and fulfilling lives. ~ Heather Drake, Cape Elizabeth
