Group encourages U.P. churches to conserve energyPublished 4:54 am, Friday, January 18, 2013

MARQUETTE, Mich. (AP) An interfaith

organization in the Upper Peninsula is planning a

two-year campaign encouraging houses of worship to

conserve energy.

Leaders are announcing the EarthKeepers II initiative

during a Friday news conference in Marquette.

It's sponsored by 10 faith communities that

previously collected tons of electronic and

pharmaceutical waste across the U.P.

The new program will perform energy audits at 40

churches or temples and provide grants ofup to

$1,000 toward the costs of upgrades such as installing

more efficient lighting and heating systems.

Organizers also want to plant two community gardens

in each of the peninsula's 15 counties. They will grow

native plants and vegetables for distribution to

food pantries.

Religious community leaders signed a covenant in 2004 pledging to work with other faiths on

U.P. environmental protection projects.Photo Galleries
