Renewable energy is good news for Michigan!

Wind turbines in Elkton, MI.

Proposal 3: the Michigan Energy/Michigan Jobs initiative calls for 25% of our electricity to be generated by renewable energy by the year 2025. This bi-partisan and broadly supported initiative would help create a cleaner and more sustainable future for Michigan residents while stimulating our economy by putting tens of thousands of people to work building, installing and maintaining clean energy infrastructure.

The world’s religious traditions reflect the importance of caring for the earth and all its inhabitants. Beyond religion, there is the ethical and human value of protecting our environment to ensure a sustainable future for all. Economic and environmental justice is a religious and ethical value. We will have the opportunity to put our faith and values into action this November but ICPJ needs your help.

Will you endorse Proposal 3?

You can add your name to a list of supporters and get involved here . Clergy, Pastors, faith leaders, and congregational staff can endorse the proposal here.  You can learn more about renewable energy and the ballot initiative at Michigan Energy/Michigan Jobs
