I know many of us in Maine care about climate change, but simply saying or feeling it isn’t enough. We need to turn our belief and care into action. Reducing emissions in our personal lives is great, but we also need broader change. For that, the best actions we can take are telling our representatives in Congress that addressing climate change is important to us, and to vote for those who will listen and support climate change initiatives. Then keep doing that. It’s not an exaggeration to say that our lives are on the line. Let’s care and act accordingly. ~ Erica Bartlett, Portland
