From Interfaith Power and Light (http://interfaithpowerandlight.org):
Celebrate the coming spring with Interfaith Power & Light by helping us honor some of the greenest congregations in the nation. The Cool Congregations Challenge winners once again prove that America’s faith communities are leading the way on cutting climate pollution! We hope that you are as inspired by these religious communities transforming their faith into healthy and sustainable actions as we are.
Earlier this year, we invited people of faith across the country to tell us what they’re doing in response to climate change by entering the Cool Congregations Challenge. There were so many inspiring stories, which made the decision difficult. We’re excited to announce our winners!

Our winners represent congregations of many different faith traditions that have come together around one common goal—to respond to climate change through the reduction of their carbon footprint.
These five congregations are casting a vision for the kind of world in which they want to live, and then carrying out that vision with practical actions that make a real difference in creating lasting solutions to climate change. Whether a small or large congregation, rural or urban, these projects demonstrate that when we work together, we can create positive change, save energy and money, and live out our calling to care for Creation.
Challenge winners, runners-up, and honorable mentions have been awarded in five categories that include planning, energy efficiency, renewable energy, grounds, and community inspiration.
Join us in congratulating these congregations for their work, and for their inspiration to others in their communities.
