Iowa Interfaith Power and Light

||||||||||||||||
Description: Iowa Interfaith Power & Light (Iowa IPL) engages and equips people of faith to become leaders in addressing the environmental and social justice consequences of climate change. Iowa IPL is a part of the national Interfaith Power & Light movement. Iowa IPL’s Cool Congregations program has trained representatives of over 275 congregations across Iowa to activate their care for creation by helping members calculate and reduce their household energy use by roughly 10% per year. Their Food • Faith • Climate program teaches participants how their food choices impact climate change and how their faith traditions call them to respond with practical solutions. As part of the Food • Faith • Climate program, congregations sometimes choose to grow food to donate to local food pantries and soup kitchens. How to Help: Individuals can become involved by signing up for Iowa IPL’s e-action alerts. Congregations that are interested in hosting a Cool Congregations workshop or a Food • Faith • Climate workshop should contact Sarah Webb at programs@iowaipl.org for more information.
