Be Climate Conscious

Be Climate Conscious in the Mahoosuc Region

Embrace this place by reducing your impact on the climate and our environment. Minimizing waste, choosing local, and finding creative ways to make an impact during your visit all contribute to building a more sustainable region.

Ways you can be Climate Conscious (and why it matters!)

  • Reducing, reusing, and recycling minimizes waste and our carbon footprint.
    • Bring reusable containers: coffee mugs, water bottles, food containers, etc.
    • Our community recycles, but we’re still working on infrastructure to make recycling easy for visitors. Search out a recycling receptacle at a local business – or just bring your recycling home.
  • Carpooling, sharing rides and taking advantage of local EV charging stations all help reduce carbon emissions.
  • Eating locally not only sustains local businesses but also reduces carbon emissions when food doesn’t have to travel far to be enjoyed. Learn more about eating locally here.
  • Supporting conservation organizations helps preserve and protect the Mahoosuc region’s vast ecosystems and the environmental services they provide. Check out these local groups: Mahoosuc Land Trust, Inland Woods and Trails, Western Foothills Land Trust, and Androscoggin River Watershed Council.

Check out our Community Spotlights to discover how local businesses, organizations and individuals embrace The Mahoosuc Way principles.
