What can your congregation do?
Take the 10% challenge!
The “10% Challenge” is about congregations cutting carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gases) by 10%...or more. Cutting 10% is an achievable goal, and is in line with what scientists say we need right now (see www.1010global.org/uk/about/faq). Moreover, big tasks are made easier if broken up into smaller, manageable pieces – and 10% this year is much more tangible and achievable than, say, 80% by 2050.
Climate science tells us that emissions cuts made now are more valuable than those made later, and reducing emissions by 10% beginning this year is the kind of target that will give us the best chance of a safe future for our children and grandchildren, as well as the poor and vulnerable who will be the most adversely affected by the effects of climate change.
Beginning on October 10th (10/10/10) Maine Interfaith Power and Light will offer congregations special workshops to provide the necessary tools and information needed to easily and quickly cut carbon emissions by 10%.
Attend a 10% Challenge energy efficiency workshop
