This 3-week small group study is designed to help faith communities explore the health, justice, and climate impacts of coal in Iowa—and consider the next steps they might take together.

Across Iowa, water is a sacred gift that sustains our communities, nourishes our land, and connects all living things. Yet our rivers, groundwater, and drinking water remain at risk from toxic coal ash pollution produced by coal-fired power plants.

Today the Iowa Environmental Council released a report, “Coal in Siouxland: MidAmerican Energy’s Legacy of Air Pollution and Health Impacts” written by Cody Smith.

It’s past time for MidAmerican Energy to both stop burning fossil fuels and engage in dialogue about how we can work together to build a sustainable future that all people deserve! Will you add your name to a letter that’s going to their leadership, calling on them to take action?

“We will not stand by as we watch MidAmerican and Berkshire executives disregard what we hold dear for the sake of money. We will speak up and call out bad manners when we see them, because nobody is above reprimand for coming in and trashing the place we love and call home.”

“The human health toll of these plants is unacceptable wherever they are located, and coal plant owners know this – MidAmerican Energy knows this – just as much as I do. As a mom, I am asking MidAmerican to phase out its coal plants quickly, for the health of our children and other vulnerable individuals.”
