Lawmakers in Maine, one of the states in the New England region of the United States, have approved two new initiatives designed to address the increasing impacts of climate change.

One of the bills which is now heading to the governor’s desk is expected to create a Maine Climate Corps and Maine Service Volunteer Program to coordinate relief efforts.

In his response, Rep. Morgan Reilly (D-Westbrook) said, “There’s a lot of, I would say, young Mainers, but also Mainers of all ages who are asking themselves, ‘How can I serve? How can I be a part of tackling this issue?’”

The other bill which has been passed by the legislature is expected to better coordinate climate education in schools, with continuing education for teachers on the issue as well.

Responding, Rep. Lydia Blume (D-York) said, “Knowledge is power and it will help to reduce the anxiety of our children and prepare them for the great opportunities that actually climate change is showing economic opportunities.”

The two bills are heading to the governor’s desk, where they are expected to become law.
