Thanks to Elizabeth Riebschlaeger for such an articulate and powerful testimony to the Environmental Protection Agency.
My name is Sister Elizabeth Riebschlaeger. I am a Sister of Charity of the Incarnate Word
from San Antonio, Texas. The statement that I am making here today
represents the commitment of our congregation of religious women. As co-signers with millions around the world of
the Earth Charter, we have committed ourselves to work for a more
life-sustaining environment for all the human family. This commitment relates to the geophysical

spiritual environment. Out of that

to ask the Environmental Protection Agency for immediate action toward
regulating these activities. READ MORE
