IPL’s Cool Congregations ↗

Cool Congregations assists faith communities in conducting energy audits and provides a toolkit containing methods to reduce their carbon footprint. In addition, a national contest awards $1,500 annually to five congregations that have made strides in emissions reductions over the past year via projects in their communities. Two West Virginia congregations have won this national award! Could you be next?
