Maine Department of Environmental Protection’s Maine Food Recovery Hierarchy
The Senator George J. Mitchell Center for Sustainability Solutions at the University of Maine will host the first annual Maine Food Waste Solutions Summit, Friday, April 9, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., to build awareness of the growing food waste problem and to share solutions that promote economic development, address hunger and improve natural resource management in Maine.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that nearly 40% of all food produced in the U.S. is never eaten. Mainers waste 280 million pounds of food annually, yet according to Feeding America, 200,000 of neighbors suffer from food insecurity.

Janet Mills has signed an executive order to accelerate Maine’s progress in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transportation, calling for a “clean transportation roadmap” to achieve the state’s climate plan goal of increasing the number of electric vehicles (EVs) on the road by 2030.
The roadmap, due by December, will develop recommendations to enhance the EV market in Maine, expand charging infrastructure, evaluate effects on electric utilities and the grid, and ensure an equitable and affordable transition to clean transportation for all Maine residents.
Work on the clean transportation roadmap will be led by the Governor’s Office of Policy Innovation and the Future and the Governor’s Energy Office – in concert with the Maine Department of Transportation, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection and the Efficiency Maine Trust.
