Their testimonies gave an excellent impression, demonstrating how Lutherans are active and concerned about protecting\u00a0God&#8217;s creation. Here are some excerpts of their testimonies:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>7\/30 Washington D.C. Hearing<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mary Minette, Director of Environmental Policy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2026We know that climate change has many other public health impacts, and that those impacts fall hardest on those who are most vulnerable, including children and the elderly, and particularly hard on vulnerable people who live in poverty.\u00a0And we are already seeing the impact that a changing climate can have on food production and food security, with the drought in California as only the most recent example.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026The arguments of economic impact and job loss also ignore the costs of doing nothing, of allowing global temperatures to continue their upward trend and earth&#8217;s climate to become less and less predictable.\u00a0 Losses in productivity, increases in food prices, dwindling supplies of water, will all have steep costs and huge economic impacts, together with the continued cost of responding to ever more frequent weather disasters.<\/p>\n<p>We are faced with an important choice\u2014we can act now, and help to protect future generations and God&#8217;s creation from the worst impacts of climate change, or we can fail to act and let our children and the earth suffer the consequences. This rule is a critical step in the right direction.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-882\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.elca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2014\/08\/epa3-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"epa3\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.elca.org\/advocacy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2014\/08\/epa3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.elca.org\/advocacy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2014\/08\/epa3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.elca.org\/advocacy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2014\/08\/epa3-250x188.jpg 250w, https:\/\/blogs.elca.org\/advocacy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2014\/08\/epa3-467x350.jpg 467w, https:\/\/blogs.elca.org\/advocacy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2014\/08\/epa3.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>\u200bMary Minette testifies before the EPA pannel\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>7\/31 Pittsburg, PA Hearing<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Rev.

But <em>how<\/em> we adjust to less coal will make all the difference.\u00a0 If we build more renewable energy infrastructure and increase energy efficiency, our air<em>will<\/em> be cleaner and greenhouse gases will be reduced. But if we replace coal with fracked gas, we will only be making our air and atmosphere worse.\u00a0 These rules, as written, only codify the transition from coal to gas that is already underway. As well, the rule gives implicit consent to burn more trash, tires, coal sludge, and other forms of toxic waste for electricity.\u00a0 So while I believe the proposal is a good first step, it is not only inadequate, it will have the unintended consequence of replacing one source of dirty fuel with many others.<\/p>\n<p>I am committed to helping people of faith learn how to do their part to care for God&#8217;s Creation and support eco-justice issues.\u00a0 I call for the EPA to not only stand its ground with this rule, but to actually strengthen and expand it in order to put in place the strongest protections possible to defend public health, the fragile atmosphere of our planet, and the communities that will bear the costs and suffering from our addiction to fossil fuels and greenhouse gases.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-885\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.elca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2014\/08\/The-Rev-Dr-Leah-Schade_headshot_speaking-2.jpg\" alt=\"The Rev  Dr  Leah Schade_headshot_speaking (2)\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.elca.org\/advocacy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2014\/08\/The-Rev-Dr-Leah-Schade_headshot_speaking-2.jpg 720w, https:\/\/blogs.elca.org\/advocacy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2014\/08\/The-Rev-Dr-Leah-Schade_headshot_speaking-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.elca.org\/advocacy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2014\/08\/The-Rev-Dr-Leah-Schade_headshot_speaking-2-250x333.jpg 250w, https:\/\/blogs.elca.org\/advocacy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2014\/08\/The-Rev-Dr-Leah-Schade_headshot_speaking-2-263x350.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Rev.
