Fossil Fuel Subsidies

Just saw this a few days ago: http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/may/27/g7-nations-pledge-to-end-fossil-fuel-subsidies-by-2025. The G& has committed to ending fossil fuel subsidies within a decade! While I would have liked to see that happen decades ago, I still see this as a win. Let’s see what we can do to get that bumped up much sooner – and transfer than money to renewable and sustainable choices. Increased grassroots pressure on all governments can only help. Let’s spread the word and get the changes that are needed!

Welcome!

Hello and welcome here! This website is a reflection of my work in development, sustainability and peacebuilding – and the ways that all of them intersect. I will be sharing resources that I think are valuable, and hopefully encouraging conversation and action – both within the Mennonite denomination (which is where I am) and beyond.

If you have thoughts or comments, please let me know in the comments or by contacting me using the contact page. Thanks!
