“GreenFaith Boulder County, part of a world-wide multi-faith environmental organization for climate justice encouraging grassroots action. Our local circle brings together people from many faith traditions – Buddhist, Jewish, Christian, Indigenous, Unitarian Universalist, Quaker, pagan, and more – into coordinated and bold action for climate justice.

To be true to our spiritual teachings and practice, we must show up in the public square as people of faith to hold the fossil fuel industry and too-slow government accountable for a lack of adequate response to climate change.”

“My Jewish faith teaches me that all are responsible to care for and protect God’s Creation (Genesis 2:15). The Jewish sages of old expanded the idea and taught, “Do not destroy My world, for if you do, there will be nobody after you to make it right again.” (Midrash Ecclesiastes Rabbah 7:13).

We are part of an incredible tapestry that is being wounded and these wounds are threatening our life together. I support this initiative because we can’t be indifferent to the harms that are emerging from the climate crisis and must strive to do more to help restore integrity to the Earth and protect it for the generations to follow. “
