Climate Change calls us to ask who is my neighbor?

• You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
  (Judaism from Leviticus 1918)
• This is the sum of duty do not do to others what
  would cause pain if done to you. (Hinduism from
  Mahabharata 51517)
• Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would
  find hurtful." (Buddhism from Udana-Varga 518)

Climate Change calls us to care for the Creation?

• While we may have different understandings of
  God, we share one understanding that Gods
  creation is a gift to be cherished and defended.
  Every religion forbids theft. Let us not steal
  from our children to support our addiction to
  fossil fuels. Every religion forbids idolatry.
  Let us not sacrifice creation on the altar of
  consumption and profit.
• Rev. Fred Small

know it are threatened by human activities.
Destruction of nature and nature resources
results from ignorance, greed and lack of respect
for the earth's living things."This lack of
respect extends even to Earth's human
descendants, the future generations who will
inherit a vastly degraded planet. - The Dalai
Lama
