Green Church, Green Home – Families for Earth
Learning to be “green” can be daunting. Having gone through
the process of conducting an Energy Audit, Canadian Memorial Church’s
Environmental Ministry team wants to help churches/synagogues/people learn about
earth stewardship. This event will show you how to take action and how to get
started. It will help you connect with others on the same journey. We want to
share how you can walk with a lighter footprint on this sacred living organism
called Earth.
Specifically, it will address what the issues are and some of
the solutions. You’ll learn specific action steps.
