Maine Currents 12/2/15

While the world focuses on the climate talks in Paris, here in Maine people are taking things into their own hands, working together with their neighbors to reduce their carbon footprints and influence energy policy. A few weeks ago Maine Currents featured the Bangor chapters of 350.org and Citizen’s Climate Lobby. Today we’re talking with members of the Sierra Club of Maine, and taking your calls to hear what you are doing (or think should be done) about this issue.

Guests:
Glen Brand, Director, Maine Chapter of the Sierra Club
Nancy Chandler, Sierra Club Climate Action Team- Phippsburg
Marty Fox, Sierra Club Climate Action Team- Wiscasset
