Between God and Green: An interview With Dr. Katharine Wilkinson

When I was a college freshman looking for extra credit, I stumbled into my campuses Environmental Stewardship Society's service project. It set out to clean up the creek bed that ran through campus. As a student growing up in an evangelical home, finding a group of Christians caring for the Earth was thrilling. After college, …

Faith Groups Add Their Voices To The Forward On Climate Chorus

This was written by Catherine Woodiwiss for Climate Progress: Eighteen months after the first major protests in DC against the Keystone XL pipeline made headlines for weeks and saw hundreds of protestors arrested, Sunday’s Forward on Climate rally gathered the "NO XL" faithful for what organizers called the "biggest climate rally by far in history." And as with anti-Keystone protests past, …

God Is Green: My Religion And The Environment

Over the years, science has become more and more open to interpretation, and this means heated debates over what should be a simple fact: the Earth's climate is changing. As if the debates between the professionals weren't disconcerting enough, we have to add the drama between political lines and religious groups. I was educated in a …

Is Extreme Weather The New Norm?

This post was written by Lisa Sharp, Retro Housewife Goes Green: Most of the United State has experienced extreme weather this summer. Last week, the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOOA) announced that the lower 48 states just finished up the hottest month since 1895. During July 2012, temperatures were 3.3 degrees above the average for …

My Dad, The Accidental Environmentalist

My Dad, The Accidental Environmentalist

My dad's a lifelong Republican and devout Christian Scientist whose interest in nature is only marginally greater than his interest in Kim Kardashian or Bikram yoga. A retired professor of management science, he lives in Orange County, that conservative California enclave where citrus groves got paved over to make way for suburban sprawl. And with …

"Climate Change Is The Highest Moral Issue Of Our Time"

"Climate Change Is The Highest Moral Issue Of Our Time"

As a Conservative, I am thrilled that this year's Earth week is also going to involve the Evangelical community. On Tuesday, there was an Interfaith Moral Action on Climate (IMAC) held in Washington, DC. IMAC was inspired by the realization that the awareness of climate change has decreased while the actual impact of the changes are increasing. …

Pro-Life But Anti-Protection Of Fetal Health?

What’s a new year without retrograde behavior? Just in time to ring in 2012, on December 30, judges on a panel of the US Court of Appeals in Washington agreed with some power companies to stop the implementation, at least temporarily, the Cross State Air Pollution Rule. This delay could cost Americans a year of …

Latino Custom Poses Mercury Poisoning Threat

When I first received an e-mail in my inbox titled: “A LATENT EPIDEMIC OF MERCURY POISONING FROM ITS MAGICO-RELIGIOUS AND ETHNOMEDICAL USES IN LATINO AND CARIBBEAN COMMUNITIES," I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. On the one hand, I was offended by the word “mágico” to describe a religious …

Never Underestimate The Power Of Mothers To Protect Their Children!

This is a guest post by Rabbi Warren Stone, Climate Rabbi: Mothers: it is time to be up in arms. The laws that protect the health of our children are under direct assault by industry. Three insidious bills are now pending before a shamefully receptive Congress to gut the Clean Air Act and to sideline its …

Clean Air Is Sacred To Catholics

Posted on October 7, 2011 by Elisa Batista|Posted in: activism, Economics, Latino Community, Mercury Poisoning, pollution, religion, social justice|
Clean Air Is Sacred To Catholics

At a recent Sunday mass, my parish in Oakland, California celebrated the feast of St. Francis of Assisi. He is the ultimate patron saint of creation: the poor, animals and environmental stewardship. During the mass, parishioners brought their pets for our pastor's blessing, and were reminded to generously donate time and money to the Catholic …
