Global
warming is a hot topic that shows little sign of cooling down. Working to
cool our planet are churches, congregations, temples, synagogues, and other
faith based organizations which offer not only a dedicated and diverse grass
roots membership but possess a moral imperative to protect the Earth we all
cherish and depend upon for our existence. Many organized faiths recognize
the peril of our planet and have organized their members to individually and
collectively address the root causes of global warming.
In recognition
of this growing involvement, Maine Interfaith Power and Light invites all
faiths to partner as a ClimateCare partner to build a state and nationwide
coalition to address and remedy the root causes of global climate change.
Become a
ClimateCare Partner today and let Maine Interfaith Power and Light help your
community make the link between faith and the active care of our planet.

Mini
Grant to Help Maine Faith Communities Reduce Carbon Emissions
Maine
Interfaith Power and Light is offering
grants of up to $500 to provide assistance
to any Maine faith community currently
taking action or planning to reduce their
"carbon footprint" through energy
conservation and the use of clean power.
Awards will be made to a select number of
Maine faith communities requiring assistance
with reducing their energy consumption (including
electricity and fossil fuels) as a means to
reduce or possibly eliminate their "carbon
footprint" (the carbon dioxide emissions
from electricity use, heating and other
needs related to maintaining and operating
their facility).
