In this episode of Ecophonia, I had the pleasure of speaking with Marqus Cole, the Organizing Director at Georgia Interfaith Power and Light (GIPL), an organization dedicated to inspiring and equipping communities of faith to engage with climate issues and implement practical climate solutions across Georgia. We had a wonderful and extensive conversation, so this episode is split into two parts.

In this part, discover how GIPL's initiatives are not only promoting sustainable practices but saving houses of worship substantial money that they can then use for more important work. Additionally, Marqus also discusses the critical role of the Public Service Commission in Georgia's energy landscape and how advocacy efforts can influence policy decisions. Whether you’re a person of faith or not or whether you’re a Georgia resident or not, this episode is jam-packed with helpful information you can apply to your life and community.
