Environmental Workshop: Visit the Interfaith Council’s grassroots climate program, Interfaith Power & Light, to learn how our faith communities are bringing real wisdom to the conversations about data center development in the places we live and worship. While the prospect of corporate profits from the AI “boom” is imposing one data center proposal after another onto our region, every local community has grassroots power to weigh in on how our land, water, and energy are used. Data center expansion is driven by AI, but we are driven by something else: our ancient sacred traditions – real human wisdom – about living well in community and caring for each other and for the land and water we share: ipldmv.org/realwisdom.
