Just Energy: Caring for God’s Creation
SESSION 2: JULY 24 | 10 AM – 11:30 AM
STORIES OF JUST AND UNJUST ENERGY IN GEORGIA
Session 2 Information
Our faith calls us to be caretakers of our planet and to listen to the stories of those who suffer the impacts of unjust systems. Hannah Shultz, Program Associate at Georgia Interfaith Power and Light, will address the environmental and public health impacts associated with our current energy generating sources by looking specifically at the improper storage of coal ash, the issues with biomass energy, and the factors contributing to energy burden in our communities. Participants will also hear stories from residents in frontline communities who have been directly impacted by the threats associated with energy inequities in GA.
If you have any questions, please contact Beverly Marshall-Goodell at bevmarshallgoodell@yahoo.com or Carol Banks at cybanks1946@gmail.com.
