<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I wanted to share this “Lead by Example” report for addressing climate change in agency operations from the state of Maine. There are some good ideas in here you may want to share and/or explore in your agency
climate action/sustainability planning. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Speaking of climate action planning, we are edging ever closer to having a fully executed contract and green light to develop a climate action planning toolkit so you can all easily measure and manage greenhouse
gas emissions in your operations. I have already heard from many of you signaling your agency’s intent to participate in the project. Particularly if you are an agency listed in EO 20-04 and you have not reached back out to me on this project, I encourage
your participation. I am happy to answer any questions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">It is my intent to work with the Sustainability Board and publish a report very similar to this one outlining agency performance and actions on addressing climate – probably end of this year.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Thanks much – and remember that while this Thursday is officially Earth Day, we can take and celebrate actions toward healthier people and planet every day.
