Help to preserve Maine's precious environment for future generations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is a wonderful opportunity to meet with state legislators who may be pivotal 
on key legislation that will impact Maine's forests, waters and wildlife. Karen 
Woodsum of the Maine Woods program will be there as well as Sierra Club volunteers.
It is important to have a Sierra Club presence at the onset of the legislative session
- and just introducing yourself and saying that you care about the protection of
 Maine 's woods and wildlife will be very effective.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Help build a cleaner energy future
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Climate change and energy costs are two of the greatest challenges confronting our
state.  By coming to the breakfast not only will have you a chance voice your concern
and views to state legislators, but you'll learn about two of our priorities, building
a clean energy future through smart planning and an act intended to broaden energy
efficiency/weatherization programs and to simplify the process by creating a one-stop
shop for incentives and programs to reduce heating and electricity costs to Mainers.
