    The New York State Council of Churches invites you to make a difference—for your wallet and the environment.

    The United Methodist Social Principles remind us that "sustainability is crucial to the development of ecologically sound policies and practices that seek to restore balance to the natural world." They urge us to reduce our carbon footprints and support "cooperative efforts aimed at redressing the ecological harms humans have wreaked on a global scale."

    Community solar is that cooperative effort—and it costs you nothing to join.
