In order to reduce our carbon footprint on our planet, we must be good stewards of creation.
The BC Synod is part of a Green Parish Accreditation Program.
It's great if an Environmental Steward is a member of your Parish
Council (Church Committee), but that isn't necessary. The
following are some easy ways in which your congregation can be good
environmental stewards:
1 - Flag
Parish Council decisions with environmental consequence
2 - Advocate green components in parish activities
3 - Track
parish utitlity use
4 - Promote GreeningSpirit.ca website
5 - Resource
person for parish education
6 - Prepare an
Annual Report on environmental activities
Training and support will be provided through workshops and other
events throughout the Diocese of New Wesminster. Please contact
David Dranchuk for further information: (604) 684-6306, ddrankchuk@vancouver.angelican.ca.
