For Personal Action – April 17

Join the Carbon Covenant Global Forest Climate Protection *(www.co2covenant.org).  It is sponsored by Interfaith Power and Light. Deforestation is responsible for almost 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions and takes a grave toll on communities living in or near these ever-shrinking forests. Carbon Covenant, a program of Interfaith Power and Light *(www.interfaithpowerandlight.org), supports faith communities who directly address the number one source of carbon emissions in the developing world: deforestation. They are protecting forests from illegal logging and poaching, promoting sustainable livelihoods, and reforesting degraded lands.
