Holy Trinity Lutheran Church of Port Angeles, WA is one of 18 national runners up in Interfaith Power & Light’s 2023 Cool Congregations Challenge, an annual award for leadership and sustainability! The $500 reward for the Cool Planner category went to Holy Trinity for their plan to upgrade their heating and cooling system to a low-emissions heat pump, saving 6 tons of carbon emissions, and for their innovative hands-on education showing congregants how to reduce their energy use at home.
“Holy Trinity Lutheran Church and the other national winning congregations are casting a vision for the kind of world in which they want to live, and then carrying out that vision with practical actions that make a real difference in creating lasting solutions to climate change,” said Rev. Susan Hendershot, President of Interfaith Power & Light. The 2023 Cool Congregations Challenge highlights the concern areas that people of faith are working on and uniting around to take action on climate change issues within their homes and communities.
