How Just is My Energy and Why Should I Care?
Caring for God’s Creation by advancing just energy for all!
Christina Krost and Elizabeth Chun Hye Lee
We are fortunate to live in a time where we have access to energy for all our needs. But is the energy that fuels these needs just? How is it impacting the lives and health of women, children and youth in the US and around the world? Are we destroying God’s Creation? How can we “Be Just. Be Green.” We will look at what the Bible says, our own personal energy consumption patterns, who it impacts and UMW’s “Just Energy for All” campaign. Also, how we can be a part of advocating for energy that is cleaner and more just for God’s people.

honor it is to be with you all! I thank God for the opportunity and blessing!
My United Women in Faith story began with attending a conversation with Limitless which
would lead me to be a United Methodist Women member for the rest of my life. Today, I am a
mother of an 8-year-old girl, a wife, a friend, a mentor… a leader. Since that conversation life
hasn’t been the same. Almost everywhere I go I meet someone with a United Methodist
Women connection. I always feel welcomed and like I have a place at the table.
The California-Pacific Conference UMW Team embraced me and showed me the way while
allowing me to have my own voice. Read more
