[Green] GSC Call for Agenda Items

[Annie Warmke]

I sent an update from Michael Chisholm last week that they are working 
on the grants and we are in the mix, but he thinks it won't be for the 
entire amount.  I saw that Betsy Mills has meeting rooms.  Is that a 
possibility of a place to host the Sustainable Marietta event?  Just 
thinking ahead.  Annie

>> Dear Dawn,
>>
>> Thanks for for reporting the solar on your congregation in last 
>> year's Interfaith Power & Light Solar Survey, and congratulations on 
>> the efforts of your congregation to reduce their carbon footprint by 
>> going solar!
>>
>> Your congregation is now listed on the national Interfaith Power & 
>> Light Congregational Solar Directory and map: 
>> https://www.interfaithpowerandlight.org/congregational-solar-directory/
>>
>> Interfaith Power & Light would like to invite your congregation to 
>> apply to be an Interfaith Power & Light Certified Cool Congregation, 
>> as a way for Interfaith Power & Light to honor your congregation's 
>> efforts.
>>
>> Certification as a Cool Congregation is a way to applaud your 
>> congregation’s effort to reduce their carbon footprint and encourage 
>> them to do more. It’s also a way to announce your solar success and 
>> serve as a role model to others in your city or town.
>>
>> Read stories of other certified Cool Congregations and apply at: 
>> https://www.coolcongregations.org/get-certified/
>>
>> Use the NEW Cool Congregations calculator for worship buildings to 
>> measure your congregation’s carbon footprint. Measure a “before” 
>> footprint as a baseline before you made changes to your building, 
>> then measure an “after” footprint to see how much energy your 
>> congregation has saved.
>> Find the calculator here: 
>> https://www.coolcongregations.org/calculators/get-started/
>>
>> For the purposes of this certification process IPL is asking for 
>> information on your congregation's gas and electric use, and some 
>> narrative questions on your project.
>>
>> Please report your energy use data for a period that ends before 
>> COVID-19 began, as it is likely your congregation energy use patterns 
>> were/are affected by the pandemic.
>>
>> Certification is free and carbon footprint reductions of 10% or more 
>> qualify.
>>
>> IPL will send your congregation a certificate suitable for framing, 
>> and a “badge” to post on your congregation’s website that links back 
>> to the story of your congregation's success that Interfaith Power & 
>> Light will write and  post on our webpage of Certified Cool 
>> Congregations.
>>
>> Please contact me if you have any questions about certification or 
>> the application.
>>
>> Again, congratulations on your solar!
>>
>> All best,
>> Sarah
