MIP&L Awards
Caring for God's creation is something each of us is called to do. Some among us are exemplary. Each year MIP&L recognizes the work of those individuals, congregations and organizations whose environmental stewardship is indeed special in nature and impact. The awards identify the nature of the work. They serve to motivate each of us to "Go and Do Likewise!"
