IREJN is continuing our efforts to help houses of worship across Connecticut become more energy efficient. If you missed our webinar with American Baptist Churches of CT on May 22, you can watch it here. This webinar covered programs for houses of worship, such as Renewing America’s Non-Profits, Small Business Energy Advantage Program, Microbusiness Energy Advantage Program, as well as programs for residents, such as Home Energy Solutions, and Home Energy Solutions-Income Eligible.
You can also check out the slides here.

The CT Dept of Energy and Environmental Protection has a list of communities and a map of the environmental justice zones. (Some of the EJ zones are entire towns, some are portions of towns.) Here is the list of distressed municipalities and a map of the distressed municipalities and environmental justice zones.
