Inspiring Hope: Preaching & Teaching for Environmental Stewardship Wednesday, July 25, 9:30-2:30 pm Las Placitas Presbyterian Church, Placitas Lunch provided, Free We live in an exciting and challenging moment when faith leaders have a remarkable opportunity to offer hope and renew their congregations. Come pray, connect, hear latest information on climate change with Climate Reality speaker Gil Pinon, receive valuable resources, support and a wonderful lunch. Please pass the word. This is our moment to create a future filled with faith and life. Shop at the La Montanita Co-op in Santa Fe, Albuquerque and Gallup in July, bring your cloth bags and donate a bag credit to NMIPL. A great and easy way to support good works. NMIPL will unveil a no-cost loan project in July. Faith communities who would like to upgrade some energy efficiency measure or get seed money for a renewable energy project for their Houses of Worship, Schools, food pantries, etc. can apply. Up to $5,000 will be lent for approved projects. Contact info@nm-ipl.orginfo@nm-ipl.org if you are interested. NMIPL testified at recent hearings in Santa Fe on the Pit Rule (A guideline for oil and gas industry to line pits to protect NM water was passed four years ago and since then no violations have occurred.) The ruling is threatened and you can help keep it. Call Governor Martinez at 505-426-2200 or give a comment at |
