Thank you to everyone who is reining in your own consumption of fossil fuels by walking more and driving less, by turning out lights and turning down the heat.

I look forward to seeing which church in our diocese will be the first to go solar. Thank you to you churches that have joined Massachusetts Interfaith Power & Light and gotten an energy audit, maybe even looked into solar panels. Thank you to every congregation that is exploring how to live more lightly and sustainably on the Earth.
