On Sunday October 17, our All Peoples congregation voted to adopt the following resolution:
“We recognize that human civilization is under threat from climate change, and we call on all members of our community to begin immediately taking appropriate action.” Our church has a long history of supporting efforts to protect our environment and to change the ways we live as a community and as individuals to make them more sustainable and reduce their harmful impacts to our Earth.
In 2020, the Louisville Metro Council passed a resolution that commits our local government to move towards 100% renewable energy by the year 2030. We all need Metro Council to move forward NOW on implementing this resolution, including fully funding a program to invest in solar powered electric generation on Metro buildings.
All Peoples Justice Center and our Green Sanctuary Committee encourage you to join others in advocating for positive and needed change in our city!
It takes just a moment and will make a difference!
