Our Local Campaign
At New Mexico El Paso Region Interfaith Power & Light, we are observing World Environment Day by encouraging the study of Choosing Earth. by Duane Elgin. The book examines the challenges facing humanity—from increasingly severe climate change and resource exhaustion to escalating social injustices and the rising threat of authoritarianism—and calls for a radical transformation in how we live on the planet.
Inviting us into a “wide, deep, and long” view of our present moment and what lies ahead, Elgin urges the human community to open to the transformative work of facing grief and loss, and to work for reconciliation and healing of injustices.
Here is a PDF version of the book.
