What a gift to put roots in the ground and share abundance with young people and families at Izzi School in Fair Oaks. Every tree planted is a promise for cleaner air, deeper shade, and a more just climate future. 🌳❤️

California faith leaders condemn move to undermine climate regulation | KiowaCountyPress.net The EPA finalized a decision reversing the 2009 Endangerment Finding, a legal provision which said greenhouse gases put human health at risk.

EPA is betraying its mission by reversing the 2009 Endangerment Finding. CIPL gathered 5,000 comments by people of faith & conscience in opposition to this ruling

"This claim that global warming is not a threat is unfathomable & a morally reprehensible act." Susan Stephenson, ED tinyurl.com/2009EF

"The air we all breathe is holy. Weakening #CAFEstandards will increase pollution—disproportionately harming children, the elderly & people with asthma— & could contribute to premature deaths. Upholding strong 🚗 emissions standards is a morally responsible decision."
