Georgia Interfaith Power & Light

Happy Thanksgiving from Georgia Interfaith Power & Light (GIPL)!! ?? We're grateful for you and your care for our Common Home.

Last Monday, climate activists and faith leaders gathered outside Senator Ossoff's Savannah office to deliver signed Defend Our Climate petitions. We're deeply grateful for the Senator's dedication to protecting our Common Home. ???? As we look toward the challenges ahead, we encourage him to hold the line and reject any attempts to roll back critical climate progress. Together, we can build a more just and sustainable future! #DefendOurClimate #StandStrong

A second congregation in Georgia has officially gone solar thanks to Georgia Interfaith Power & Light and our partners at Georgia BRIGHT/ Capital Good Fund! ?? The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Statesboro follows Trinity Episcopal Church, Statesboro, which completed a solar installation with Georgia BRIGHT in August 2024. This incredible achievement demonstrates how faith communities are leading the way in caring for Sacred Earth and building a more sustainable future. By harnessing the power of the sun, this congregation is not only reducing its carbon footprint but also modeling how stewardship of resources can align with spiritual values.

Preparing our communities for disasters is essential in the face of a changing climate. GIPL Coastal Outreach and Resiliency Coordinator, Beth Remmes, recently joined the American Red Cross and other leaders for a roundtable discussion following the announcement of a new program to help Chatham County better prepare for disasters. ?? ?? Together, we’re working to protect our Sacred Earth and ensure the safety of our neighbors. Check out this article for more details on this important initiative. https://lnkd.in/grbAyw8V

Throwback to September when we participated in The Green Mass at St. Thomas More Catholic Church with the Archdiocese of Atlanta and Bishop Bernard Shlesinger III, Auxiliary Bishop of Atlanta. ??
