New GAN Resources Site Now Live
The Green Awakening Network has just released a new website with
information and resources to help congregations do their own greening.
Designed for congregations and faith communities, the site covers why we
should care about greening, simple ideas for getting started, worship
ideas and green sermons, information about more complex environmental
projects, resource materials and links, success stories, and much more!
Please visit the site and let us know what you think. Suggestions and recommendations are welcome!
Green Audit Grants Still Available - Take Action!
One of the first steps for a congregation committed to reducing its carbon footprint is an environmental audit of its building. Click here for a comparison of the green audit types that might be right for your congregation. Two schemes are now available for a limited time to help you take this important step.
The National United Church Green Audit Pilot Program provides a $750 grant toward the cost of a Greening Sacred Spaces audit. Each participating congregation is expected to match the grant with the same dollar value in remedial action based on the resulting report. Click here for more information or contact David Patterson at 647-274-3066 or dpatterson@faith-commongood.net.
In addtion, between 2011 and 2014, the Ontario Power Authority is making available grants of up to 50 percent of a project’s value on eligible energy-saving initiatives that may be undertaken by congregations and other ministries. Click here for more details.
