Meet Your Greens, Middlesex County's monthly green drinks networking gathering, will meet at Tavern at the Armory (Inn at Middletown) on February 19, 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm. Teresa Eickel, Director of the Interreligious Eco-Justice Network will share how IREJN has been working with congregations and students on its climate change campaign.
IREJN is a CT statewide interfaith coalition that welcomes individuals of all faith traditions in its work to care for the planet, address climate change, and celebrate creation. Founded in 2000 by religious leaders active in the "Sooty Six" campaign, a campaign to clean up Connecticut's dirty fossil fuel plants, IREJN began to tackle other environmental challenges, such as clean energy, energy conservation, and toxic exposure reduction. One of its programs is This Old House of Worship - an energy conservation program that teaches congregations how to analyze and reduce energy use in their buildings. 150 congregations have participated since 2003 with an average savings of 10%-30% in savings.
Remember, come as you are and no reservations required!
