A Note of Thanks to Sen. Heinrich for Supporting Methane Initiative

“The U.S. Senate has taken a step toward more vigorously regulating climate-warming methane leaks from the oil and gas industry, a move supporters say is key to achieving President Biden’s ambitious climate goals,” Read article,  “Senate Votes To Restore Regulations On Climate-Warming Methane Emissions” (National Public Radio)

People of faith in New Mexico have been working to address methane pollution in the oil and gas fields for a number of years. We are grateful for the leadership of Senator Heinrich to help pass a rule today in the Senate that will help care for community health and future generations who face climate change to which methane pollution is a major short time contributor. Together we can address health in frontline community injustices of pollution and Care for Our Common Home.” Joan Brown,osf, Executive Director, NM Interfaith Power and Light
