Lucy Brennan 鈥�14
Town seeks to eliminate all greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 鈥� York Weekly
The Bangor Daily News reported that the town of York, Maine, now knows it鈥檚 mostly on track to eliminate municipal greenhouse gas emissions, thanks to research conducted by AmeriCorps volunteer Lucy Brennan 鈥�14.
Brennan, who is also the sustainability program coordinator for the city of South Portland, started out by organizing data from York鈥檚 municipal power bills. Overall, her research has shown that emissions from heating fuel, electricity, and streetlights have all gone down in recent years, but the town’s vehicle fleet remains a significant source of emissions.
The fire department has done a particularly good job 鈥� thanks in part to a solar array on its rooftop 鈥� with reducing emissions, Brennan told reporter Deborah McDermott. 鈥淭here鈥檚 a really exciting story to tell here,鈥� she said.
