Dear John,

‌

Did you know that food systems generate more than one-third of all man-made greenhouse gas emissions? Research also shows that food produces the equivalent of two tons of carbon dioxide emissions per person each year.

‌

Although wealthier nations produce more of these gases, our sisters and brothers around the world are affected the most by the impact on climate change.

‌

You can make a difference today by joining us in building a climate for change.‌

Catholic Relief Services is partnering with young people and farmers throughout Central America to implement agricultural practices that help restore the land and yield more crops. These environmentally-friendly techniques are helping to address hunger, malnutrition and climate change.

‌

For this innovative programming to continue and expand so that more farmers can benefit, your voice is needed to urge Congress to include foreign aid in the federal budget. This funding is critical to address the root causes of hunger and the consequences of climate change.

Thank you for helping to protect and care for our global family and planet!

‌

Prayerfully,

Catholic Relief Services and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
