Easter and Earth Day: Celebrations of God's Gifts

April 08, 2015 by Katharine Hayhoe

Continued from Page 1

As a church, a school, or a community, we can lead by example. Do an energy audit. Cut energy costs. Research the best products and recommend what people might want to use. Offer your roof space for a solar community garden!

And lastly, we can support good policy that aligns with our faith and our values. Right now, we as individual taxpayers are subsidizing carbon emissions to the tune of about $15 per ton. Let's put a real price on carbon so we have the information we need to make good decisions: next time we are buying a car, next time our town is pricing out its new energy source, and next time businesses are making investments in the future. To do that, we need to tell our leaders we care.

We need Easter every day, to remind us of how God's greatest gift affects our actions every day.

And we need Earth Day every day too, to remind us of God's other greatest gift and how our actions affect it every day.
