Leaders from just about every faith in Central New York are throwing their support behind efforts to reduce or eliminate fossil fuel dependence. The group Climate Change Awareness & Action brought together some of the leaders virtually Monday, just ahead of Earth Day on Thursday. Episcopal Bishop Rev. Dr. Dede Duncan-Probe says communities of faith need to get involved with environmental activism.
It is clear that when climate change occurs and is occurring in this world, that people of color, of poverty, people who do not have the power over their environment are often the first to suffer the tragic consequences. As people of faith, it is essential that we not only speak out, but that we take measures to be part of the solution.
