Six ways to green your parish

By Anglican Journal

Published July 3, 2007

Designate a ‘bike-to-church’ Sunday;
Repair leaks promptly. A leak of one drip per second wastes about 10,000 litres per year;
Post signs encouraging people to turn the lights out if they are the last ones to leave a room;
When making new purchases, be sure to buy Energy Star rated high-efficiency appliances;
Plant deciduous trees around the building to provide shade on hot days;
Rake leaves instead of using a leaf blower.
