Non-Quaker Kindred Groups
Interfaith Power & Light

THE REGENERATION PROJECT is committed to lead communities of faith to a deeper understanding of what it means to be good stewards of creation. Our mission is to expand, deepen, and leverage the link between religious faith and environmental responsibility.

Through our Interfaith Power and Light (IPL) program we are working to mobilize religious communities to promote renewable energy, energy efficiency and conservation. This effort began in 1998 with Episcopal Power and Light (EP&L) and the support of Grace Cathedral. EP&L was a unique coalition of Episcopal churches aggregated to purchase renewable energy. In 2001, we co-founded California Interfaith Power and Light (CIP&L), which helps people of faith in California to organize and promote positive environmental change around energy and global warming. Nationally, we are working to establish Interfaith Power and Light programs in every state.

Order our video, "Lighten Up!: A Religious Response to Global Warming," which helps explain the complex issue of global climate change and offers ideas on what each of us can do to help. The video is available in DVD and VHS formats with a suggested donation of $15. Order by phone (415/ 561-4894) or e-mail info@theregenerationproject.org.

8 Things you can do right now!

1. Write, call or email your elected officials. Tell them global warming is a religious issue, that the U.S. must participate in strong and fair international agreements and adopt strong national policy. This is the most important thing you can do right now!
2. Buy a fuel efficient vehicle and energy efficient home appliances.
3. Conduct a home energy audit. Use thermostat settings and insulation to conserve energy with heating, hot water, and air conditioning.
4. Sign up for renewable energy from your utility. In some states there is still no renewable energy to purchase. If this is the case in your state, you can buy wind tags—vouchers to help build wind energy—from NativeEnergy with whom we have partnered.
5. Ask your congregation to make a commitment to care for creation through worship, teaching, and learning, by living the congregational life, and by community, national, and global involvement.
6. Be an Energy Star Congregation by considering ways to improve the efficiency of your buildings and equipment and curtail unnecessary energy use. For information, call 888 STAR-YES.
7. Use a car less and walk, bike, and use mass transit more.
8. Stay informed.
