We invited the faith-based community to come and check out a couple of hopeful and optimistic energy and environmental systems experts at the IEN Monthly Symposium on where we provided some technically-sound scenarios that offer a plausible pathway by which all humankind can meet these challenges and win a world far better than most people have imagined. This is the Energy Action Team that started from this meeting. We are working on a manual and toolkit for congregations to become carbon positiv

Next upcoming event: Monday May 28th, 7pm-8.30pm – Energy Action Team meeting @ Saint Mark’s Episcopal Church (directions).

 

Our mission: Climate Buddies is a non-profit that wants to empower people to include climate change considerations into every decision they make. We focus on live interaction with groups of people, for-profits, spiritual groups, public and academia. We focus on people, inspiration, guidance and are result driven. Anyone who wants to start to integrate climate considerations in decision making is welcome to join us or invite us for collaboration.

Our invitation to you: meeting the global energy and climate challenges

  • If you could work on meeting the greatest challenge humankind has ever faced, would you?
  • Would it surprise you to know that the climate and oceanic systems have been so perturbed by the massive burning of fossil fuels that the very continuation of human civilization is threatened?
  • Do you yearn to be able to say to your grandchildren, and theirs – and everyone else’s – that you did your part to leave the earth in a healthier condition than when you were born into it?
  • Many suspect that the time left to return the earth to a healthy, resilient condition capable of sustaining human civilization is short. The climate recovery challenge is in fact an energy issue, a challenge to increase both the energy available to power essential services and to make affordable, renewable energy accessible to all.
  • We must increase the supply of energy available while reducing the total greenhouse gas emissions associated with energy generation to near-zero rates.

Understanding these premises, we must have the courage to yearn for a credible possibility that each of us, and billions of others like us from all over the world, will become true caretakers for the earth – our planet that has given life to our kind; the creation which protects and nourishes us even in its injured state.

For those who are ready to hope and to implement action initiatives, we invite you to join us in helping to lead on climate solutions. A lot of work will be involved, as will a lot of joy. That’s right: It’s serious business, but as long as it is joyful and fulfilling in the doing, a lot of people all over the world will want to get in on it!

 

We are starting in Central Texas

Central Texas based churches and Congregations are invited to participate in a first step towards becoming Climate Positive. Together with the Interfaith Environmental Network (IEN) Energy Action Team we have put out a call to you to participate in a benchmark program to start to monitor your Climate Impact. If you are interested in participating, please read the following document: A Free Climate Impact Audit of Your Congregation
