  • Maine's Environment in the 2024 Legislative Session

    Maine's Environment in the 2024 Legislative Session
    Feb 1 2024
    The last few years, our work at the State House in Augusta has delivered enormous progress for Maine’s environment. So, how is NRCM gearing up to continue this momentum and what are the priorities we’ve set for this year’s short legislative session? From curbing the use of polluting gas to encouraging reuse, investing in our trails, and tribal sovereignty for the Wabanaki people, NRCM’s Advocacy Director Pete Didisheim joins the podcast to discuss the issues and bills we’ll be tracking, and how we hope to work together with you – people who love the nature of Maine – to achieve great things for our woods, waters, wildlife, and communities.

  • Reducing Waste During the Holidays

    Reducing Waste During the Holidays
    Dec 21 2023
    It’s the holiday season, which means a lot of gifts, a lot of food, and….a lot of waste. Mainers by nature are frugal and don’t like waste. It’s part of who we are. But when we go to the store or buy online we’re faced with a deluge of plastic and other wasteful packaging. And it drives most of us crazy. What can we do about it? We speak with Laura Marston, the owner of the Maine-based, plastic-free, zero-waste business Go Go Refill and Vanessa Berry, NRCM’s Sustainable Maine outreach coordinator to talk about tips and ideas for reducing waste at home. For more waste reduction resources, including a map of zero-waste retailers visit nrcm.org.
