Group encourages U.P. churches to conserve energy
The Associated Press
MARQUETTE, Mich. An interfaith organization in the Upper
Peninsula is planning a two-year campaign encouraging housesof
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
ofupgrades 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
andvegetables for distribution to food pantries.
Religious community leaders signed a covenant in 2004 pledging
to work with other faiths on U.P. environmental
protectionprojects.
