Workshop Description:

The Wisconsin Interfaith Climate and Energy Campaign (WICEC) is a group of people of all faiths working to reduce the emissions that cause global warming. We are concerned about the effects of climate change, especially on the disadvantaged and poor -- it is a social and environmental justice issue. In celebration of the third annual Wisconsin Interfaith Energy Awareness Month (October 2009), WICEC in collaboration with the Islamic Environmental Group of Wisconsin (IEG) and the Wisconsin Council of Churches (WCC) presents an overview of the related interfaith activities taking place at the state-wide level.

Presenters: Huda Alkaff, Peter Bakken and Wayne Stroessner

2nd Annual Wisconsin Interfaith Energy Awareness Month (October 2008)
Dear Friend:

The award-winning Wisconsin Interfaith Climate & Energy Campaign and the Islamic Enviromental Group of Wisconsin are celebrating the 2nd Annual Wisconsin Interfaith Energy Awareness Month in October 2008.

Want to do your part for the environment while saving energy and money?

Change the World, start with ENERGY STAR. Join us in the fight against global warming by taking the ENERGY STAR Pledge.

When you pledge, you are making a commitment to save energy and money and reduce global warming by taking energy-saving actions in your home, such as changing a light to an ENERGY STAR qualified model, enabling your computer to power down when not in use, installing and using a programmable thermostat correctly with pre-programmed settings, choosing products that have earned the ENERGY STAR, and more. Taking these actions will also save energy and money.

Wisconsin Interfaith Climate & Energy Campaign and the Islamic Environmental Group of Wisconsin together set a goal of reducing 519,800 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions. Last year, we reduced more than 122,700 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions while saving 84,600 kilowatt hours of energy.

To date, nearly two million people across the nation have pledged to take small, energy-saving steps that can change the world. If every American household took part in the ENERGY STAR Pledge, we would save more than $18 billion in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from more than 18 million cars.

Click here to take the ENERGY STAR Pledge now, and join with millions of Americans who are taking small steps that make a big difference in reducing global warming.

Last year we met our goal of 100 pledges. We saved 84,600 kWh of energy and prevented 122,700 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions!

Thank you for your support!
