Economic & Business Perspectives on Federal Climate Legislation Federal legislation to reduce carbon emissions and accelerate a transition to clean energy economy is currently being debated in Washington DC. Attendees at this special E2Tech forum will learn about some economic and business perspectives on these efforts, including the fundamentals of market-based strategies. The American Clean Energy & Security Act bill passed the House in 2009, and several bills are in front of the Senate including the Boxer-Kerry and Cantwell-Collins bills. A vote on climate and clean energy legislation is expected in the next few months with Maine’s senators likely playing critical roles. At this special joint E2 Tech / Natural Resources Council of Maine / Clean Air – Cool Planet forum hear from internationally recognized economist Tom Tietenberg, emeritus professor from Colby College, about the key policy choices before Congress. In addition, corporate representatives and other experts will share their perspectives on what this legislation might mean for Maine businesses, including Maine’s efforts to increase energy efficiency and lead on renewable energy. E2tech forum details can be found here. You can register online here. The registration fee for this event is $10. |

Join NRCM's Judy Berk at 2:00 p.m. at Plants Unlimited's Green Fair in Rockport for "Growing Greens all Year" During the cold, snowy winter did you ever dream of growing and eating your own fresh homegrown greens? Since 1989, Judy Berk and David Foley have gardened at Ocean Glimpse Farm in Northport and for the last ten years, they have experimented with sun-heated cold frames, home built greenhouses and pre-fab greenhouses that supply many varieties of fresh, healthy greens year-round. Judy is inviting additional local year-round growers to join her this year to share tips, successes, and even failures, with interested gardeners. Judy has lived and gardened in Waldo County since 1975, worked for the Natural Resources Council of Maine since 1991 and served on the board of the Coastal Mountains Land Trust since 2001. |
