California Interfaith Power and Light (CIPL) is galvanizing a religious response to global warming as the moral issue of our time. All major faith traditions call us to be good stewards of the earth, therefore we must work together to address the grave threat to humanity and all of Creation posed by global warming. Since our founding in 2001, we have mobilized religious support for landmark legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in California, educated hundreds of thousands of congregants, and worked with every major religious denomination in the state. CIPL member congregations are leading by example, reducing CO2 emissions in our own houses of worship by over 20 million pounds.

Over 460 congregations of many diverse faith traditions are members of CIPL. Is yours?
