The Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN) is leading a Summer of Action to defend Progress for God’s Creation. Over the past few years, the EEN community has worked hard to support and strengthen historic climate legislation and pollution safeguards that defend our children’s wellbeing, provide family-sustaining careers, and put our nation and the world on the path toward a hopeful future. These efforts have paid off, but this critical progress is in danger of being rolled back. At this pivotal moment for our children, communities, and climate, we cannot afford to delay or reverse any of the important steps we’ve made. Join us today in lifting your voice to defend these investments in our health and God’s creation and to stop efforts to repeal life-saving pollution safeguards. Click here to learn more and see if it speaks to your condition, in the traditional language of early Friends.
Help Us Plug Dangerous Pipeline Leaks! U.S. natural gas pipelines leak up to 2.7 million tons of methane yearly, equivalent to the impact of 50 million passenger cars. Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, fuels extreme weather and harms children's health. As evangelicals, we must defend the vulnerable. Cutting methane emissions is the most cost-effective way to slow climate change and protect health. The Pipeline & Hazardous Materials Safety Administration’s (PHMSA) proposal to address these leaks is essential but delayed. To do your part, visit creationcare.org's Take Action page and scroll down to the pipeline issue, then click the “Take Action” button in that section. Enter your information to get started.
