Climate scientist Gary Lagerloef had a letter to the editor published in the Kitsap Sun on January 29. He called on Washington to lawmakers to advance our state's environmental leadership by passing the legislation to limit carbon dioxide emissions, which in turn will help forge a comprehensive national policy to reduce global warming.
Sr. Mimi Maloney, member of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, was featured in a February 4 article in the Tri Cities Herald on the Cap and Invest bill: “One woman supporting the bill even argued that capping emissions is a moral responsibility. ‘For me as a person of faith, the care and creation and the protection of Earth and the life support systems on Earth from the devastating effects of global warming is not just an environmental and economic issue’, said Sr. Mimi Maloney. ‘Everyone is part of the living system, part of the web of creation’."
