Carol Landis moved to TN from Ohio, where she was active with Ohio Interfaith Power & Light. She retired her job as the Education Outreach Specialist for the Byrd Polar Research Center at Ohio State, where she coordinated climate change education for the Center. She attends First Presbyterian Church in Elizabethton and the Holston Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in Gray, TN.
Even before she was settled into her mountain home, Carol helped establish the Green Interfaith Network of East TN (GINI), which models faith-based sustainable living for green faith communities in the Northeast TN and Southwest VA region. Back in Ohio, she had participated in the state’s IPL affiliate, and she brought IPL back to Tennessee, where she helped restart Tennessee Interfaith Power and Light.
Carol has recently stepped back from her climate protection work to care for her family. But she is always there to lend her support and encouragement whenever she can. Much gratitude for all she has done for TIPL and our East Tennessee partner, GINI.
