Ask the congregation
to consider their personal life styles. Walking to Church
saves fuel and is better for you. Switch off when not
in use (includes your car engine). Sharing lifts, driving
more fuel efficient cars and flying less will make a very
positive impact. Use the phone and consider conference
calls rather than having meetings. Consider food miles. |
