About the Pledge
The GreeningSpirit pledge
Anglicans commit to reducing green-house gas emissions
- The household pledge
Anglicans in BC and the Yukon are using Environment Canada’s calculator tool to determine their current green-house gas emissions; then, using the same calculator, are developing a plan to reduce their emissions. Individual pledges (and the stories behind them) are recorded on this website. Join us!
- The congregation pledge
Anglican congregations in BC and the Yukon are also reducing green-house gas emissions. From replacing light-bulbs to engaging in creation-care liturgies, there are many exciting examples of congregations reducing their impact on creation, and expanding their understanding of stewardship. Congregational pledges and stories are also located on this website.
- The diocesan pledge
Dioceses, too, are looking to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions…and you can find out more about what each is doing on this website.
