The Creation Care Team would love to have congregation members weigh in on how our budget dollars are allocated among three carbon offset projects:
- Reforestation via handmade cookstoves in Malawi, Africa, benefitting about 200,000 people by improving livelihood, preventing deforestation and reducing respiratory diseases, burns and greenhouse gas emissions (UN Project 9935)
- A solar power plant in India providing clean power to the Indian grid and both permanent and temporary local jobs (UN Project 7088)
- Burgos Wind Project generating clean energy in the Philippines, helping the livelihood of communities, partnering with local government agencies, and responding to the needs of the residents in times of disasters (UN Project 7980)
Look for our Creation Care bulletin board display in the Narthex. We’ll be inviting sticker voting after church on November 13th and 20th. Or you can tell us your preferences electronically before Nov. 20th by clicking https://forms.gle/BTTLVeYRwZaGL17B6.
