An Epistle to Friends Concerning Environmental War


An Epistle to Friends Concerning Environmental War
The Issue
It matters little what people say they believe when their actions are inconsistent with their words. Thus we Friends may say that we care for our environment, but as long as Friends continue to consume fossil fuels, our Peace and Environmental Justice Testimonies will fail to speak to humankind. Let our lives speak for our convictions. We may not be able to change how others use fossil fuels. But we can try to change our own lives. We must be ready to accept the sacrifices involved if we hope to make a real testimony for Peace and Environmental Justice. We must make environmental justice a way of life in a society that embraces fossil fuels.
