What issues does COEJL work on?
COEJL advocates on a range of environmental issues, from endangered species to energy security to the dangers that mercury emissions pose to clean air. Along with our partners from other faith communities, we cut through the familiar technical arguments to clarify the values at stake in environmental policy. Given the prominent role of religion in American political life, a voice of conscience in favor of environmental protection has considerable effect on public opinion and policy discussions.
Our Jewish community brings distinctive resources to the urgent environmental challenges we face. COEJL seeks to galvanize these resources by engaging in the public debate.
