Dear John,
Tomorrow is the big day! After six months of analysis, the Maine Climate Council’s six working groups will begin presenting their recommendations to the full Council during two days of virtual meetings.
I’m planning to log on for all seven hours (and as co-chair of the Buildings Group, I’ll be presenting on Day 1), but I’m sharing the focus and agendas for each day below in case you’d like to join for a specific conversation.
It will be important to have as many people tuning in as possible to demonstrate that Maine people strongly support bold and equitable action on climate change!
