SUMMARY:The Path of Hope: A Study on Climate Action for Faith Communities
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join an online discussion series built around 15-minute videos featuring interviews with US faith leaders\, representatives of climate-impacted communities from the global South\, and presentations by UN officials and other experts. The videos walk viewers through four key climate policy issues that intersect with universal faith concerns for vulnerable and marginalized people. The series focuses on how climate change is impacting the core ministries of faith communities around the world\, how those impacts will increase in the future\, and why these impacts create an imperative for people of faith to advocate for strong US climate action.  A discussion guide is included that asks participants to think deeply about how their own local faith community’s direct service programs intersect with climate impacts\, and how knowledge and experiences gained through these programs might help to inform climate policy. The study’s Action Center provides practical\, step-by-step instructions for advocacy activities\, as well as recommended policy asks for local\, state\, and national leaders.  Join us!

SUMMARY:Federal Incentives for Energy Efficiency and Renewables: Why They Matter to People of Faith
DESCRIPTION:We now have a wide window of opportunity to make real\, lasting changes for clean energy and reducing carbon pollution. The Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law are investing billions of dollars to build clean energy sources\, electrify school buses\, cap orphaned wells\, and much\, much more.  In addition\, there are many incentives for households\, and houses of worship\, to invest in energy efficiency improvements and renewable energy.  People of faith therefore play a vital role in determining how federal funds are spent and the quality of the investments made. Lisa Brenskelle\, Houston Climate Communication Coordinator for Texas Interfaith Power & Light and Rebecca McIlwain\, Community Outreach Coordinator with Texas Climate Jobs Project\, will give an overview of the available federal grants/incentives and talk about what you can do to ensure the money is invested in a way that makes the most impact and promotes justice. Time for interactive Q&A with the speakers will be provided.  Please register for this event on www.eventbrite.com at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/federal-incentives-for-energy-efficiency-and-renewables-tickets-608800277017.  Texas Climate Jobs Project (TCJP) is a nonprofit organization that supports clean energy that is inclusive to everyone concerned and creates decent work opportunities that leave no one behind. Texas Interfaith Power & Light is the Texas chapter of Interfaith Power & Light\, a national nonprofit whose mission is to inspire and mobilize people of faith and conscience to take bold and just action on climate change.  Contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com with any questions.

SUMMARY:Interconnection & Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Steve Stelzer\, Program Director for Houston’s Green Building Resource Center\, provides a tour through a wealth of resources available to aid you in building your resilience and living a more sustainable lifestyle.
