NATURAL RESOURCES COUNCIL OF MAINE • April 26, 2022
The Maine Legislature yet again delivered significant progress on a broad range of environmental issues that will benefit Mainers across the state, according to an analysis by the Natural Resources Council of Maine. NRCM praised Governor Janet Mills and lawmakers for coming together to enact a wide range of new laws that will further enhance the health of Maine’s environment, people, and communities, including new laws to protect hundreds of miles of Maine rivers, conserve biodiversity by expanding Maine’s ecological reserves, curb out-of-state waste at the Juniper Ridge Landfill, mitigate impacts caused by PFAS (“forever chemicals”) contamination, and continue to address climate change.
