Keynote Address by Dr. Roger S. Gottlieb, philosopher and prolific writer on religion & environmental ethics
People of faith are mounting a religious and moral response to global warming. This response is motivated by love for our neighbors (the innocent poor will suffer the most) and our call to be responsible in our relationships with nature and to be stewards of God’s creation.
Solving this problem requires long-term hope and vision that is so familiar within our religious traditions, but is often at odds with our world today.
RI Interfaith Power and Light interfaith programs reaches the community with aims to bring the strength of our religious institutions to provide the hope and vision we need to meet the challenges of rising energy costs, the transition to renewable energies and protecting life, especially that of our most vulnerable people, from the negative impacts of climate change.
Reducing our collective carbon footprint begins with a measure of where we are today. Collectively, we changed the face of America over the abolition of slavery, women's right to vote, the civil rights movement, passage of the Endangered Species Act and the recent ban on mountaintop coal removal. Let's get together today to respond to the challenge of global warming.
