  Be a good steward of the earth. Be a Cool Congregation!
  
  Cool Congregations
   Training Event
   
  Saturday, September 29, 12 noon-3 p.m.
  The HOPES Center

People of faith across Wisconsin are caring for Earth by reducing the sources of climate change in their own homes and saving money in the process.
 
The Cool Congregations stewardship program will provide you with the tools you need to make a difference in your home, congregation, and community. Participants meet together in small groups to learn how to measure their "carbon footprint" (the amount of carbon dioxide produced by their daily activities) and how to reduce it.  They also share experiences, celebrate success, and deepen their understanding of how creation care is rooted in their faith.

Learn how to conduct a Cool Congregations program in your congregation by attending this training workshop with a team of two or more from your congregation. Follow these simple steps:
  1. Download a Cool Congregations brochure for more information.
  2. Form a "Cool Congregations Team" for your congregation -- invite your congregation's faith leader and two or three other members to attend the workshop with you.
  3. Register each team member Online or with a Printed Form -- deadline is Monday, September 24, 2012 Workshop fees are $15/person or $30/congregation team of 2 or more (scholarships are available).  Please make check out to: Wisconsin Interfaith Power & Light and Mail to: Wisconsin Interfaith Power & Light, 750 Windsor Street, Suite 301, Sun Prairie, WI 53519 
  4. Complete a "Carbon Footprint checklist," which asks you about your entire household's energy use for the last 12 months. One will be sent to you after you register. Each participant should fill one out and bring it along.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are interested but unable to attend this event because of the time, date or location, please answer our poll to let us know what would work for you! We will use your response to help us plan further training events.
