What We Do

Earlier this month, our team at the Evangelical Environmental Network was shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of Iowa farmer Ray Gaesser. Ray leaves behind an incredible legacy of stewardship, relationship, leadership, ingenuity, and faith––and we are honored to have partnered closely with him in recent years.

Today the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) announced it will create rulemakings to cut methane emissions from conventional and unconventional sources. Together with the nearly 50,000 pro-life Christians who have submitted comments to the DEP since 2024 asking for a strong state rule, we recognize the life-threatening danger methane pollution poses to our children and the urgent need for strong protective action. Methane, and other contaminants released with it, pose a great danger to the health of those who live, work, and go to school––including over 200,000 children––near oil and gas infrastructure in Pennsylvania. In response to this announcement, Kim Anderson, EEN’s Director of Member Mobilization and Pennsylvania resident, issued the following statement.

This week, the EPA released a final rule weakening federal methane pollution standards. The rule rolls back requirements to monitor and limit industry practices that waste natural gas resources and emit health-harming pollutants. In response, EEN President and CEO Dr. Rev. Jessica Moerman released the following statement.
