  • Religion and the Environment – A national organization called Interfaith Power and Light—IPL—is bringing different faiths together on environmental issues, especially climate change.  Although pastors have often been reluctant to talk about the environment from the pulpit, Lucky Severson reports that IPL wants houses of worship to invest in energy efficiency and to serve as examples to the people in the pews, encouraging them to become energy efficient in their homes.
