SUSTAINING CREATION – April

48 Steps to Living Sustainably – Actions We Can All Take

April is here and it’s Spring!! What a wonderful time of year—rebirth, renewal, re-creation, and sustainability! They all go together! We’re looking at “Getting in Deeper” with our Actions We Can All Take, this month in the category of “Home.” There are four actions to consider:

23. Change all home lighting to energy efficient lamps. Consider LED lamps.
24. Install smart thermostats and timers on energy-using devices throughout your home.
25. Conduct an energy audit of your home and correct deficiencies. Seal those windows and door leaks.
26. Consider whether to repair an items rather than replacing it with something new. Take an initial step away from our disposable consumer society.

Next month is our last “Getting in Deeper” list focusing on Advocacy. Be prepared—After that we’ll look at “Immersed As A Way Of Life.”

To a Greener World,
