Quaker Earthcare Witness publishes a bi-monthly eco-bulletin that reports on "Information and Action Addressing Public Policy for an Ecologically Sustainable World",and is an insert page in BeFriending Creation. Each issue of QEB is a two-page article about timely legislative or corporate policy issues affecting our society's relationship to the Earth. QEB provides:

• Information from a faith-based perspective about upcoming government or corporate policy decisions.
• Sources for additional information.
• Action opportunities.

The vision of Quaker Earthcare Witness (QEW) includes integrating into the beliefs and practices of the Society of Friends the Truths that God's Creation is to be held in reverence in its own right, and that human aspirations for peace and justice depend upon restoring the Earth's ecological integrity. As a member organization of Friends Committee on National Legislation, QEW seeks to strengthen Friends' support for FCNL's witness in Washington DC for peace, justice, and an earth restored.

QEB's purpose is to advance Friends' witness on public and institutional policies that affect the earth's capacity to support life. QEB articles aim to inform Friends about public and corporate policies that have an impact on society's relationship to the earth, and to provide analysis and critique of societal trends and institutions that threaten the health of the planet.
