Environmental justice campaigns address a range of issues united by a common theme: those who are poor or marginalized politically and economically within society suffer most from environmental degradation. GreenFaith staff connects people of faith and religious leaders with ongoing campaigns for environmental justice in New Jersey.
Each year, GreenFaith selects a small number of pieces of environmental legislation that we believe to be of lasting significance. Our staff shares information about this legislation with members of the faith community and encourages faith-based institutions and people of faith to advocate in support of this legislation.
In 2003, GreenFaith has focused its advocacy efforts on the New Jersey Clean Car Act, a bill that would require cars sold in New Jersey to meet higher emissions standards than the current Federal emissions standards.
