Climate change

Climate change is just one expression of how our addiction to oil is killing people and the planet. Our dependence on fossil fuels also deepens human rights abuses, creates conflict, and causes economic inequality.
It doesn't have to be this way. There are alternatives. We can build a just and sustainable energy policy, beginning with our own lives.
KAIROS is in the midst of Re-Energize: Time For A Carbon Sabbath, a three-year campaign for personal, community, and political change. We'll have loads of fun, engaging, and practical things to do as we strive together to change ourselves, change our churches, and change our world.
Want to get involved? Visit our campaign resource site at www.re-energize.org or Contact Campaigns Coordinator Sara Stratton at sstratton [at] kairoscanada.org or 1-877-403-8933 x 241. Have a look at our resources page.
