A recent survey by the Pew Research Center finds that, in general, highly religious Americans are less likely to express concern about climate change. But the research also shows that young religious adults, including evangelical Protestants under 30, are much more likely than older people in those same religious groups to say that human activity is warming the planet and that global climate change is a serious problem. And, on college campuses across the United States, there are now Christian, Jewish, Muslim and other religious groups urging collective action to cut carbon emissions.

On April 26, 2023, we hosted a panel discussion with young Americans from a variety of religious backgrounds. They will discuss how their religious commitments mesh with their campus activism, share stories about how they came to their current views, and talk about the impact they have had – or hope to have – on older Americans inside and outside their own religious traditions.

Clean water changes everything. Learn more about the water crisis at http://cwtr.org/2knV36R

663 million people on our planet drink dirty and dangerous water. Actually, they don’t just drink it, they work for it. They invest hours every day. And not only does it keep them out of school, or take up time that they could be using to earn money for their family, it also kills them.

That’s not an exaggeration. Diseases from unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war.

But access to clean water changes that.

Clean water improves health, gives kids more time in school, empowers women, boosts economies, and gives hope for a brighter future.

#AlGore delivers a powerful verbal punch to the leaders assembled in Davos in January 2023 for failing to act on the #ClimateEmergency. Current economic systems, based on unfettered use of fossil fuels are taking us to the IPCC's worst scenarios. Far from reducing emissions, we are collectively putting 16 million tons of greenhouse gases into the troposphere every day, and the number is climbing.
We applaud Al and appreciate his passion. It is sorely needed. At the same time, we hope that he comes to understand that we must limit animal agriculture as well as fossil fuels.
