Iowa IPL’s Cool Congregations program has trained representatives of
over 275 congregations across Iowa to activate their care for creation by
helping members calculate and reduce their household energy use by
roughly 10% per year. Their Food • Faith • Climate program teaches
participants how their food choices impact climate change and how their
faith traditions call them to respond with practical solutions. As part of the
Food • Faith • Climate program, congregations sometimes choose to grow
food to donate to local food pantries and soup kitchens.
