In case you missed it, there have been recent rollbacks of protections for clean air and clean water, (Sackett v. EPA) resulting in a hodgepodge of laws regulating air and water quality state by state. Air and water know no arbitrary bounds; federal policy should be strengthened, not weakened.
Now, it is vital that we come together to protect New Jersey’s laws, and strengthen them too. New Jersey’s latest science (State of the Climate) is out and we know investing in practical solutions is most efficient. The state’s agencies are suing fossil fuel industry and Waterspirit is part of a strong campaign underway to divest from risky fossil fuel for the state pension. Fires and floods are abound, yet there remains a need to outright prioritize investments in renewable energy. When faced with despair, we act toward fostering peace through justice.
“Partnership is giving, taking,
learning, teaching, offering the
greatest possible benefit while doing
the least possible harm.”
― Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents
