Sign Tearfund’s Renewable NI petition
We want to reach a NI where much more energy is generated from renewables. At the moment the tariffs on offer won’t achieve that, so we’re asking electricity companies to do something about it.
Tearfund’s vision is a world where everyone can live life in all its fullness, and where nobody is hungry, thirsty or gets left behind. This sounds ambitious, but we believe it’s possible. One way we can do this is to take small positive steps in our homes, churches and communities – and like mustard seeds, these actions will multiply for real impact.
Why switch?
Switching to 100% renewable electricity is one of the biggest things you and your church can do to reduce your carbon footprint. As Christians we are called to live in a way that brings about God’s kingdom – giving life, hope and restoration to our earth and its people. When we together use our time and money to care for creation, we join in with God’s work of renewing the earth, and stand alongside the world’s poorest people who are most affected by climate change. You will also be actively investing in the future – helping to show government and businesses that there is a demand for clean, renewable energy that can help all God’s people to flourish.
When we act together, we speak powerfully to those around us and in positions of influence. As more individuals and churches join the Big Church Switch, together we will put greater pressure on governments and businesses to follow suit investing in renewables. Over time, this will help to lower carbon emissions and limit climate change, whilst also improving renewable technology and infrastructure so that all communities across the world can access energy that is safe, clean and reliable.
Churches of all shapes, sizes and denominations are joining in and we’re excited about the potential we have as the body of Christ to make a difference.
