People and institutions of faith can make a difference through their actions to conserve energy and through the purchase of green energy. But we can also make a difference by speaking up for policies that will ensure a just, sustainable future for all of creation.

PHOTO PETITIONS
This spring let’s have a little fun communicating with our decision makers. In the past, we have written them letters and sent in post cards. Now it's time to send in some photos!
1. Print out a sign (or handmake one) and take people’s picture with it.
2. Have people sign on to the letter so it can accompany the pictures.
3. Mail in the letter with the signatures to our office at 4500 Massachusetts Ave NW; Washington, DC 20016, and email us the photos. GWIPL will print the photos for you and send them.
