Fossil-Protest

The NJEJA (the Alliance)

was founded in 2001 by a broad-based group of community, (traditional) environmental, faith, labor, academic, and civil rights organizations and individuals concerned about the increasing siting of toxic and hazardous facilities in communities of color and low-income communities. Many of these communities (also called “EJ communities”) were already burdened with large concentrations of pollution and the adverse health, economic, educational, and overall quality of life impacts associated with pollution.

PYM Eco-Justice Collaborative

Ecological destruction, income inequality and racial injustice cannot be treated as isolated concerns. We may be called to focus on different aspects of the whole, but without awareness of that whole, our work will fall short. Traditional Quaker testimonies highlight both the connections among these concerns and the imperative to act.

Renewable Electricity in New Jersey

There are two 100% renewable suppliers in southern NJ: Community Energy, based in Radnor PA, offers 100% renewable (99% PJM wind, 1% NJ solar) for an additional 2.7 cents per kilowatt hour. This is simply added to what ACE or PSE&G currently bills for “supply,” which is about 12 cents per kwh. To learn about Community’s particulars, go to their website and enter your zip code.  Sterling Planet, based near Atlanta GA, offers Renewable Energy Certificates for small, medium, and large homes on their website: https://www.communityenergyinc.com/ and https://www.sterlingplanet.com/

Ruth Darlington, co-clerk of the Eco-Justice Collaborative of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, and Alden Meyer, who works to build coalitions for action on climate change at the national and international level, talk about ways they and others can become involved in the effort to address climate change. Alden and Ruth also reflect on how their beliefs as Quakers provide a strong foundation for these efforts. Suggestions for engaging elected officials are also included.
