 Energy Conservation Did you know that the average house of worship causes its greatest negative environmental impact through energy use? The same is true for the average U.S. household. And did you know that for the average house of worship energy costs are the second highest fixed cost after personnel? GreenFaith thinks it is time for communities of faith to become leaders in the fight against climate change through energy conservation, and at the same time save valuable funds to invest in religious activity and outreach.
Energize Your Congregation's Viewing of "An Inconvenient Truth" Many congregations are hosting screenings of the DVD of An Inconvenient Truth, the acclaimed documentary about Al Gore's "slide show" on global warming. GreenFaith representatives have facilitated discussions after more than 30 such screenings - from large settings such as St. Mary's Catholic Church in Pompton Lakes and Temple Israel in Ridgewood to smaller congregations like Temple Beth Israel in Maywood and Leonia Presbyterian Church — to further explore and commit to the kinds of actions rooted in faith that individuals and congregations can take to lessen global warming. GreenFaith invites all people viewing the film to fill out an Energy Commitment Card, sign up for wind power and to sign a letter to the Governor asking him to make New Jersey a leader in the fight against global warming.
