Solar
Join us for the Café on October 18th
What do the Vatican, the Brahma Kumaris, and the Al-Nour Mosque all have in common? They all have solar panels installed at their facilities.
Please join us at the October 18th Movement Café to learn why United Methodist churches across the country are also going solar, why it is important in terms of environmental justice, and how you can inspire your church community to go solar as well.
By adopting solar energy, our institutions can help make a global shift to renewable energy and witness to their commitment to responsible environmental stewardship, as well as reduce electricity costs, allowing them to allocate resources toward other initiatives. Most importantly, solar energy can play a role in helping to support frontline communities who are most impacted by climate change.
Hosted by Rev. Richenda Fairhurst, the speakers will include:
Nicole Withrow, the Director of Sales at CollectiveSun®, LLC, where she helps nonprofit organizations and communities achieve their clean energy goals.
Lou Stagnitto, a retired organizational development consultant who is in the “give back” stage of life and who serves as the volunteer Director of the Interfaith Solar Campaign.
Rev. John Pitney is a husband, father and grandfather to 5-year-old Jackson. He is a member of the Oregon-Idaho Conference, co-leads the Oregon Interfaith Solar Campaign, and is on the Creation Justice team for Oregon Interfaith Power and Light. He believes in the power of congregations to make a difference!
Also joining the conversation will be people working on solar in the Florida, Oregon-Idaho, North Texas and Annual Conferences and more.
