Forum: Divesting from Fossil Fuels--From Congregations to Kitchen Tables
From religious congregations to universities to kitchen tables nationwide, people are debating divestment. Burning fossil fuels is the largest single contributor to human-caused climate change. If it is wrong to disrupt the planet's life systems, is it wrong to profit from such destruction? Should we get rid of our investments in the fossil fuel industry? All are invited.
