Let's be clear: all people of faith and good will, who respect the dignity of human life and understand our calling to steward God's creation, should be appalled by the repeal of the Endangerment Finding and the abandonment of fundamental environmental regulations.

We are incredibly encouraged, but not surprised, by the results of the 16th Annual Conservation in the West Poll.
People care about public lands. They care about God's creation. Our faith calls us to join the efforts of those working towards responsible stewardship of America's lands & resources.
Learn more about how you can protect dark skies, and their connection to spiritual life, in the CDTC Dark Skies Guide, produced in partnership with NRPE: cdtcoalition.org/dark-skies/
We believe that night skies invoke a deep desire for and connection to the divine. They help remind us of our place in the universe, and are important to our spiritual and religious lives. People want to protect dark skies, let's join them! #SacredDarkness #darkskies
💯. Such a powerful word, @rabbijrosenn.bsky.social.

"Actions in Venezuela and the Arctic Refuge are driven by a turn away from clean energy and away from a path not taken. A path that could have not only protected human health and the wellbeing of all creation, but also disarmed the violent patterns that often accompany the quest for oil."
We justify attacks on other countries & destruction of landscapes because of the market price of oil ... but what about the moral price?
Hear from NRPE Exec. Director Cassandra Carmichael in her latest op-ed exploring recent events in Venezuela & the Arctic Refuge.

Trump cuts hundreds of EPA grants, leaving cities on the hook for climate resiliency grist.org/cities/trump...
Great reporting showing real-life impacts in #Georgia of sweeping cuts from EPA projects, critical for community health & wellbeing. They were made possible by now cancelled grants.
These unprecedented winter storms remind us that #climatecantwait. It is the most vulnerable who will suffer the most from severe weather. Climate action is a matter of faith, justice, and life.
We pray for all those in #Georgia and across the country who are in the path of this storm.
Georgia faith leaders and environmental advocates ... you won't want to miss this! Registration for @georgiaipl.bsky.social 2026 Summit closes tomorrow.

@ctrglobsust.bsky.social report says federal rollbacks will lead to a 10% increase in premature deaths in 2035 in #Pennsylvania.
Pollution regulations & investments in clean energy save lives & promote flourishing for all of God's creation. When we advocate for them, we are living out our faith.
It's simple. Clean energy should not be a partisan issue. Our faith demands that we support the dignity and flourishing of every person, with particular attention to the most vulnerable. All people deserve access to warm, safe shelter.
