Answer:
As our planet warms, we need to find ways to lower our carbon emissions, particularly in our use of fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal). Buildings account for nearly half the carbon emitted. One way we can be good stewards of God’s creation is by working to make our church buildings carbon neutral. The Resolution on Making UCC Church Buildings More Carbon Neutral (General Synod 29, 2013) recommends that congregations aim to meet the Architecture 2030 Challenge of no net fossil fuel emissions. Furthermore, individual members are encouraged to become carbon neutral in their own homes and practices. What follows are links to specific websites that can help both congregations and individuals become carbon neutral. Examples of congregations that have made significant strides are listed at the bottom.
