GEORGIA INTERFAITH POWER & LIGHT:

CONNECTING FAITH, COMMUNITY & PLANET

Georgia Interfaith Power and Light (GIPL) inspires and equips communities of faith to organize, implement practical climate solutions, and advocate across Georgia on issues of climate change, environmental justice, and community resilience.

Partnering with Drawdown Georgia, GIPL sponsors a number of programs to help communities of faith implement practical climate solutions. This includes assisting congregations in establishing Green Teams to drive environmental justice work locally, offering Power-Wise and Solar-Wise assessments to help faith communities lower their carbon footprints, and Zero-Waste and Water-Wise audits to help organizations rethink and reduce their overall food and water waste. We are also currently in the process of launching a new ReWilding program to assist congregations in building community gardens, removing invasive species, planting trees, native plants, and more.

Our Programs

GIPL works at the local, state, and federal levels to advocate for clean energy legislation, fair water policy, and environmental justice for the future. Current priorities include advocating for permanent protections for the Okefenokee Swamp, PFAS Transparency, conservation of the Blake Plateau (a deep-sea coral reef off the coast of Georgia), and mobilizing communities to engage in the Public Service Commission’s 2025 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) proceedings.

Our Advocacy Priorities

“We are called to foster life in defiance of all that seeks to diminish it. This is not a passive observance but an active call to push your hands deep into the earth, deep into the heart of the Divine, deep into your own life, and continue to nurture that which sustains life in you, in us, and in every inhabitant of this place we call home.”

— Codi Norred, Executive Director of GIPL
