COEJL’s kudos goes to @EPA for ensuring cleaner air and water, protecting public health, and limiting climate-changing emissions by issuing the needed Power Plant Rules that are achievable, ambitious, and consonant with core Jewish values​: coejl.org/news--blogs/po…

📅 We will meet at 10 AM in the Capitol Visitor Center SVC 201 on Thu., April 18: light refreshments will be served, and programming will begin promptly at 10. We look forward to seeing you there to reflect around the successes of 2023, and project our hopes for years to come!

@WNEP What fun!

Rabbi Daniel Swartz says Purim is one of the most festive of all Jewish holidays. It is a time to retell the story of the Book of Esther and relate its messages to today. wnep.com/article/news/l…

#MultiFaithHighLevelForum: Rabbi Daniel Swartz, Exec. Director, Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life: “We understand that there are different ways that we are connected that go beyond the ecological & physical…that among the dimension of connections is love.”

“Our commitment to protect all of creation continues to guide us: we are told to ‘do the right and the good’ as holiness gets expressed through action. The administration’s action is huge, and more can be done to address climate challenges.” – Rabbi Fred Dobb, Rabbinic Consultant

“These standards will cut over 7 billion tons of carbon emissions, create stronger protections for the health and safety of all our communities, and support BIPOC and other marginalized groups that bear the full brunt of our climate crisis.” - Israel Harris, Advocacy Director

Lives will be saved, public health and climate goals advanced, and harmful pollution abated due to the @EPA’s new light-duty #CleanCars standards. COEJL is grateful to the agency and @POTUS for this important step toward environmental and climate justice #RouteZero:

We will continue to hold @POTUS and the @EPA accountable to protecting our Earth, Creation, and our shared world - present and future!

“Trees aren’t just about carbon sequestration, erosion protection, biodiversity. Trees aren’t just about beauty, majesty, symbolic contemplation. Trees are about democracy, human rights, your life, mine, and our grandkids” - COEJL’s #TuBishvat reflection: coejl.org/blog-posts/tu-…
