Today, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed new carbon pollution standards for fossil fuel-fired power plants. These proposed safeguards will require a cut in carbon pollution by up to 90% from new and existing fossil fuel power plants by 2040. Power plants are the second largest source of U.S. carbon emissions, which is why Young Evangelicals for Climate Action (YECA) applauds this new proposal from the EPA.

Released on February 21, Following Jesus in a Warming World is a new book from former YECA National Organizer and current Senior Advisor Rev. Kyle Meyaard-Schaap. Described as “a field guide for Christian climate action—one grounded not in a sense of guilt or drudgery, but in the joy of caring for creation,” this book calls Christians to a deeper understanding of discipleship and witness. YECA is thrilled this practical and hopeful guide exists.
