People of faith and conscience are concerned for health of our communities and sacred creation. We support a state directive to end wasteful practices like venting, leaking and flaring of methane gas in the oil and gas industry because this is a moral concern with many implications for creation and communities. This practice wastes up to $244 million in salable gas every year and tens of millions more in tax and royalty revenue that could be invested in New Mexico’s education system. Methane is also a potent natural gas that contributes to climate change and pollution. In the last 4 years New Mexico has produced half of the US methane waste on federal and tribal lands and 93% of the waste was AVOIDABLE.

It is honestly surreal to watch this keep climbing because sometimes I worry people forgot about the waste happening right on our lands. I keep rereading the comments from all these different faith communities and honestly it just gives me so much hope that we might actually force a change for the better here.

Please stop the polluting of our bodies, communities, and atmosphere, especially when not necessary and is done only for profit.
Whatever we can do to protect, and give reverence and respect to the beautiful creation God has given us, let's do it! Sr. Catherine
After making a visit to the Permian Basin area to see the raping and pillaging that is happening to the land and the people - as a person of Faith, I have to say that this cannot go on. We are a better people than this.
I just came from an economic forum where it was reported that venting and flaring of excess gas is routine in SE NM. This has to stop!
If we're already producing the gas, let's make a profit off it and not pollute the environment.

Not only is wasting methane polluting our nation, Not only is it contributing to greenhouse gases, Not only is it detracting from energy independence, it's also market manipulation. And it's selfish.
