Faith in Action: Power and Light
Since the year 2000, Interfaith Power and Light has been working to mobilize a religious response to global warming, and promote energy conservation, energy efficiency and renewable energy. Connecticut Interfaith Power and Light, one of its 39 affiliates, offers a practical, real-world way for clergy and faith leaders to practice conservation. The group offers a class on how to make houses of worship — often older buildings with poor insulation — more energy efficient.

God’s Little Acre, feeding the Hungry
According to a recent report by Oxfam, it will cost $37 billion dollars every year until 2030 to eliminate global hunger. An additional $14 billion a year is needed to end hunger in a just, sustainable manner. In four years, with only $80,000 and a team of volunteers, God’s Little Acre, a farm in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, gave away 420,000 pounds of produce to the hungry. No questions asked. Though food insecurity cannot be eliminated by charity alone, the produce provided by God’s Little Acre turns an empty stomach full.
