Group encourages U.P. churches to conserve
energy

MARQUETTE, Mich. (AP) An interfaith organization in the Upper
Peninsula is planning
a two-year campaign encouraging houses of worship to conserve
energy.
Leaders are announcing the EarthKeepers II initiative during a
Friday news conference in
Marquette.
It's sponsored by 10 faith communities that previously collected
tons of electronic and
pharmaceutical waste across the U.P.
The new program will perform energy audits at 40 churches or
temples and provide grants
of up to $1,000 toward the costs of upgrades such as installing
more efficient lighting and
heating systems.
Organizers also want to plant two community gardens in each of
the peninsula's 15 counties.
They will grow native plants and vegetables for distribution to
food pantries.
Religious community leaders signed a covenant in 2004 pledging
to work with other faithson U.P. environmental protection
projects.
