Faith Leaders Promote Electric Vehicles

/in , , , /by

New Mexico has the opportunity to adopt Advanced Clean Vehicle Standards which would reduce pollution from transportation, move us forward on climate goals, and make electric vehicles more accessible to all by increasing production and lowering costs. We have asked  people of faith and conscience in our state (and neighboring El Paso) to tell us why electric vehicles are important. We hope these voices will  help encourage NMED (New Mexico Environment Department) to advocate for strong standards.  We have posted a few videos  and will be adding more
on this page on our website.

National IPL Offers Worship Resources to Celebrate our Sacred Earth

/in , , /by

Celebrate our Sacred Earth in your worship services this fall using IPL’s worship resources. NEW! Season of Creation resources and a message from Pope Francis.  (NEW! We have a new section of Season of Creation resources from many Christian denominations and a new message from Pope Francis for the 2023 Day of Creation).

One of the most important actions we can take to heal our Sacred Earth is to talk about climate change. Most of us underestimate by half the prevalence of support for climate policies. If we truly knew how many of us are concerned about climate change, we would be more willing to speak out together to heal our common home.

Encourage conversations about climate change by centering your worship services around it, honoring our Sacred Earth with sermons, music, and prayers. Include caring for the Earth in your worship services regularly throughout the year, in addition to Earth Day.

Find worship resources for a wide variety of faith traditions on IPL’s Faith Climate Action Week website.
