Ecological Network
http://eenonline.org/
The Episcopal Ecological Network (EEN) is a nationwide network within the
Episcopal Church USA
that coordinates with the Peace and Justice Ministries Office of the
Episcopal Church USA. The EEN includes all concerned Episcopalians who are
helping the Church assume a leadership role in the worldwide environmental
movement, just as the Church leads in other peace and justice issues.
Energy Star
http://www.energystar.gov/congregations
If you lower your demand for energy, your congregation helps reduce the
amount of energy generated and that means less pollution. The easiest way for
congregations to cut their energy use and reduce operating costs is to
join EPA's free ENERGY STAR for Congregations program.

cups at coffee hour, here are some steps that will also save money! – From
