Bar Harbor Town Council declared a climate emergency.
This means working towards town-wide decarburization by 2030.
People from MDI High School, College of The Atlantic, and community members spoke out about this matter at a town council meeting on Tuesday night.
The Council will look at steps on how to proceed with the Climate Emergency Action Plan.
Portland recently just passed a similar proposal. Bar Harbor is second in the state to do so.
