Lent 5: The Climate is Affected by How We Do Business

"We must act now and wake up to our moral obligations. Ignoring global warming is a sin, and the future of our beautiful planet is in our hands." – Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu

The climate is changing. How we as consumers interact with business has a huge impact on the environment. As Christians and Episcopalians, what is our role and responsibility in our daily living as consumers? This week we continue our Lenten series, For the Beauty of the Earth by exploring the relationship of how we do business.

Green Stories from Episcopalians: Remodeling Green

I took the survey [from the first week of the For the Beauty of the Earth series] and our 3 person family scored 26 tons of CO2 out of the average of 80 tons. We recently remodel our kitchen and went with bamboo cabinets and some very energy efficient lighting. We also hired a contractor, GreenBuilt of Sacramento, that uses an environmental approach to construction and recycling. We tried to buy as many of the materials from local sources to reduce travel from manufacturing point to our home. We were lucky to find a concrete counter fabricator just a couple miles from our house.
