Winter is a way of life here in Maine. For as long as I can remember, my family has taken advantage of all the recreational activities that this special season offers. Something is changing, though. Maine’s winters are growing increasingly warmer and shorter. We need leaders in Washington to address the issue of climate change. Fortunately, there is a bipartisan concept called the Baker-Schultz plan that would cut our country’s emissions by 57 percent over the next 15 years. It would put a fee on carbon but returns the revenue to the American people — ensuring that the vast majority of families come out ahead. ~ Jake Faria, Orono
