Dear John,

We’re getting down to the wire. Earlier this summer, the Maine Climate Council considered draft climate action strategies developed by six working groups, and now the Council needs to hear from people in Washington.  

Will you take one minute to sign our petition urging the Climate Council to adopt a bold, new Climate Action Plan that will strengthen Maine's economy, reduce air pollution, and build healthy, equitable communities?

Tell the Climate Council that a bold Climate Action Plan is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build a better future for Maine people. Click here to add your name.

Maine Conservation Voters is partnering with environmental, community, and public health organizations around the state to amplify the voices of Maine people committed to an equitable clean energy transition. In order to reduce carbon pollution by at least 80% before 2050, we urge the council to support concrete action steps that: 

• Expand local renewable energy projects and create new, long-lasting clean energy jobs for Maine workers;

• Deliver safe, clean, and affordable transportation options for moving people and goods throughout the state;

• Increase the energy efficiency of homes and businesses;

• Give Maine people, communities, and resource-based industries like farming, forestry, and fishing the tools to become more resilient and promote solutions that will reduce carbon pollution; and

• Ensure equity by providing solutions that are fair and accessible to all. 

More than one thousand Mainers have already signed our open letter to the Maine Climate Council. Help us reach our goal of 2,020 names in support of climate action and make sure Washington is represented! Click here to add your name.

With hope,

Kathleen
