NEW! MIP&L's "Everyday Environmental Stewardship" (EES) report on something you do every day...showering!
showerheadHow much time do you spend in the shower each morning? (...and your teenagers??)  What kind of impact does this have on your carbon footprint?

In our newest EES brief, you'll learn how your morning shower is impacting creation- and what you can do about it. Click here.

The Showering EES is accompanied by a Shower Cost Calculator.
Use it...and make a few simple changes that will be creation-saving!

November Spotlight: St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, Wellesley
MIP&L recently visited St. Andrew's in Wellesley, took a close look at their facility and made a series of recommendations to bring their house of worship into "environmental stewardship" mode. Read the St. Andrew's Environmental Stewardship Assessment (ESA) and see what MIP&L has recommended.

Is your faith community struggling with an older facility,aging energy systems, and a limited budget?

Join the crowd.

We find these challenges are common throughout our MIP&L membership. We also know that the will to make creation-honoring changes requires a faithful, determined and vocal environmental advocate.

Could this person be YOU??

The choice is yours. Send your money to the Kingdom of Wall Street (big oil, etc.) or improve your environmental stewardship and use it towards the Kingdom of God.

Because if we don't...who will?
 
Sincerely,
 
Massachusetts Interfaith Power & Light

A year later, how are they doing?
