Clean air, clean water and a healthy environment are basic to sustaining life. But these environmental rights are not codified anywhere in Maine law. And that’s the purpose of the Pine Tree Amendment: to add environmental rights to our state constitution.

Many diverse Maine voices are gathering and demanding that the legislature pass the bill and send it to the voters. You can join them by calling, emailing or writing to your state legislator today. ~ Susan Inches, North Yarmouth
