The Earth Care Working Group begins nearly every meeting with a time of sharing in which members talk about what steps they’re currently taking to live in better harmony with the earth. Here are a few of the things we’re doing.
-Marcia has committed to significantly reducing her carbon footprint by monitoring her use of energy at home and cutting down on travel. Currently she is down 30% from last year and is now below the national average. Her electricity is down 25% and gas is down 13%.
Hi. I am interested in working on reducing my carbon footprint. I will try to make it to the meeting on June 20, but would like to know how to check my footprint now and what to do to improve.
Thanks, Connie
Connie – I have a work sheet that I can mail to you. You need to fill it out and then the numbers are put into a computer program and you’ll get your footprint number. Then you can try to make your number go down. We can talk about doing that.
