Dear Senators Romney and Lee,
Celebrating Earth Day with my family yesterday I thought of the refugee crisis. The southern border crisis, and how climate change is impacting our most vulnerable communities. I thought of the food deserts in our country and how certain communities don’t have access to fresh fruit and vegetables. In many ways, making individual choices to be more environmentally conscious, comes from an immense sense of privilege. That is why we must make a better effort to address this with government action.
Earth Day must be more than celebrating the beautiful lands here in Utah. More than putting solar panels on individual homes who can afford it.
I urge you to consider President Biden’s infrastructure plans, work across the aisle, and show that the religious community and scientific community can indeed come together to make change.
We are taught that we are stewards of the Earth. And we must work together to become better stewards.
