Ever the classic Colby College student, I love the outdoors. And with such easy access to one of the most beautiful national parks, spending time in Acadia is a guarantee. However, I worry that future experiences like these may be fleeting if we do not take serious action to address climate change by putting a price on carbon. more must be done to protect Acadia. Such action should take the form of carbon dividends, the leading version of which is the bipartisan Baker-Shultz plan. This framework, endorsed by hundreds of student government leaders around the country who range across the entire political spectrum, stands as proof that meaningful environmental policy and fiscal accountability are not mutually exclusive. ~ Caitlin Bracken, Waterville
