"Investing in Maine's Environment:  A Trail Map to Prosperity 2010-2015" is EPC's new report released July 2010, representing a broad, strong consensus within Maine's environmental advocacy community.   The report offers a pathway – a trail map over the next five years – for protecting the good health, good jobs, and quality of life that Maine’s environment provides to all of us. It outlines specific steps that Maine policymakers must take to position Maine to lead and benefit from a quickly-changing world, while maintaining our solid roots in the beautiful environment we call home.
