Environmental Focus

The PPH reports today that more than two dozen Maine environmental groups are banding together to focus on six crucial issues that will come before the legislature this year. The big six are:

• Reducing childhood exposure to lead


• Restoring water quality to the Androscoggin and St. Croix rivers


• Instituting sales goals for low-emission cars


• Slowing the spread of urban sprawl


• Increasing funding to Maine state agencies that deal with natural resources


• Passing a land bond for the Land for Maine's Future Fund
