Kathleen Sullivan’s discussion of anxiety in our modern world in her Oct. 23 Maine Voices focused on the crux of the problem. When there are 69 percent fewer animal species alive in the world today than 50 years ago, it is no time to advise people to accept change and “go with the flow.” Her wise advice is to find some way to limit environmental change and help nature. Mark your calendar once a month to call Sens. Susan Collins and Angus King and Reps. Jared Golden and Chellie Pingree and tell them to vote for the environment. The Environmental Voter Project estimates that there are 10 million environmentalists in the U.S. who do not consistently vote. What a difference they could make. ~ Nancy Hasenfus, Brunswick
