Here is the City of Bellevue’s recently approved (December 14th, 2020) plan for learning to live in relationship with creation.
I wish it had a more clearly linked connection to the UN’s 17’s “Sustainable Development Goals” especially given the relative wealth of this city, in this county, and in Washington State. But I do love that we are creating and adopting intentional plans.
Faith communities of Bellevue, I invite you to tap into the values, and narratives of your particular tradition to create aggressive plans to take climate change seriously. One of the greatest ways you and your faith community can missionally serve God and your neighbor is by caring for our climate, and begin by looking at your collective local practice(s). Using the UN-Habitat’s “City We Need” toolkit can be a great way to begin.
Peace, dwight
