It is more important than ever that people-everywhere and of all ages- demonstrate and provide collective insight into a hope filled future-one not motivated by greed and individualism. We see this continues to work in the struggles toward peace and worker justice.

The New Jersey Statehouse will be open on Monday for a legislative session and New Jerseyans will bear witness to yet another purported 100% Clean Energy bill as well as a second proposed bill that would fast track toxic, expensive “Renewable Natural Gas.”

Perhaps not surprising to those working toward environmental justice, the bill provides a lackluster definition of what constitutes “Clean Energy” and ensures more opportunities to the fossil fuel polluting industry, which is currently being sued by NJ Government agencies for knowingly causing harm and avoiding accountability. Dubbed “RNG”, the idea is both detrimental to the health of our air and watersheds and, the practice is more financially expensive for consumers, not less. Here are reactions and talking points put together by leaders of environmental justice in the state.

What is most clear is the need for moral advocates to show up to make clear demands known; there is always an opportunity to move legislators’ hearts and minds.
