Sam implemented a grant-funded air sealing project at the island school and successfully worked with the City to get the aged oil boiler replaced. He organized 4 insulating window insert builds on the island, and as a member of the Portland Climate Action Team helped to lobby for the City’s recently passed benchmarking ordinance, and for the creation of the Ocean Avenue solar farm. Sam moved to Topsham in 2016, where he remains an environmental activist and passionate supporter of community builds of storm window inserts.
