About Us
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. GIPL is 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.
GIPL also 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.
