WHO:
In a show of solidarity for all those affected by climate change, California Interfaith Power & Light (CIPL) has joined forces with 500 congregations of all faiths. This mobilization includes committed, practical action in terms of energy reduction, energy efficiency and sustainable energy measures, bridging cultural and religious divisions. Nationally, the Interfaith Power & Light campaign is active in 30 states, working with a powerful force of over 10,000 congregations.
“Every major faith tradition calls on its followers to be faithful stewards of Creation, the web of life that surrounds us, and binds us to each other and to our planet,” says the Rev. Canon Sally Bingham, Founder and President of CIPL. “Global warming is a direct threat to Creation, and it is our goal to educate and engage our congregants to take personal and collective action to reduce global warming emissions. It is our moral responsibility to protect our planet.”
