Holy Comforter Episcopal Church Receives a GIPL Energy Efficiency Grant to Upgrade Lighting to LED

Whitney BrownCongregations, Creation Care, Creation Wise, Energy Audit, Episcopal, Grants, Matching Grants, Power WiseJune 5, 20180

Holy Comforter Episcopal Church has been a GIPL partner for over a decade, and received a pre-Power Wise energy audit in November 2007.   The audit was conducted by Shane Totten of Southface and Woody Bartlett, GIPL co-founder.  They were a former recipient of the GIPPY Trailblazer award.  Holy Comforter applied for their first GIPL matching grant in 2009 and received $1,134 to upgrade T-12 fluorescent lights in the Parish Hall to T-5 fluorescents.  This year, they applied for funding to upgrade their sanctuary lighting from 200 watt incandescent lights to 7 watt LED.  The incandescent lights cost $770 annually to operate while the LED cost $32 annually.  In addition, they will upgrade all their exit signs to LED.    The grants committee recognized the merits of their grant application.  The committee awarded Holy Comforter Episcopal Church $4,432 to help fund these energy conservation measures from their energy audit.

GIPL partner, Roswell Community Masjid, celebrated a Green Field Day on April 28th as a part of their larger Earth Day celebrations.  The event was open to the community and promoted sustainability through recycling and providing reusable water bottles. We are grateful for this reflection from RCM member Lubna Merchant:

We have been taught to believe that “If a Muslim plants a tree or sow’s seeds, and then a bird, or a person or an animal eats from it, it is regarded as a charitable gift (sadaqah) for him.” (Bukhari) Continue reading
