Communities around Maine are taking decisive action on climate change, from electrifying transit and school buses, to weatherizing public buildings, preparing climate action plans and improving vulnerable infrastructure.

There are many different ways to get started. Some communities start with cost-saving projects like converting indoor lighting and streetlights to LED bulbs or installing energy efficient heat pumps in public buildings. Other communities start with robust public dialog and organization that culminates in a call for action. Still other communities will pursue a comprehensive climate action planning process that lays out a clear path forward. All of these are examples of viable and useful starting points from actual communities in Maine.
