Gov. Janet Mills said state government will embark on new strategies to combat climate change, including curbing greenhouse gas emissions, transitioning to clean power sources and changing over to an all-electric fleet of light vehicles. Mills on Tuesday released a “Lead by Example” report by two state agencies outlining steps state government will take to become more energy-efficient and increase environmental and sustainable practices. Mills said the steps will reduce operating costs, support state employees and fight climate change.
