Etik & Energi (Ethics & Energy) Etik & Energi (Ethics & Energy) is a Swedish interfaith non profit association working with congregations, church organizations, and people of faith in the local community. The organization was founded in 2004 and inspired by the American "The Regeneration Project" (Interfaith, Power & Light). The goal of Ethics & Energy is to help congregations conserve energy and become more energy efficient. In this way, a sustainable lifestyle will be attained, as well a sustainable management of church property. Ethics & Energy creates a national network of religious entities in response to global warming with education and promotion of alternatives such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, and energy conservation. With energy prices steadily increasing, these alternatives provide an opportunity for reducing energy costs. This money could then be used for charity and activities, rather than wasting energy. Ethics & Energy gives people of faith a chance to put their faith into action and reduce the devastating effects of global warming. |
