 Are You Exposed to Unhealthy Conditions in your Church?
It's
one thing to carbon footprint the earth, it's another to subject those
who use the facility
or who live in your home to unhealthy conditions.
It's important to have your heating system
checked and maintained
reguarly.
This photograph shows a furnace exhaust duct, with a rusted connection-
allowing dangerous fumes to escape into occupied areas.
MIP&L's advice to this congregation: Fix this IMMEDIATELY!

MIP&L's Household Utility & Cost worksheet
In the world of environmental stewardship we differentiate Use and Cost.
Use is behavior. It is what we do.
Action is stewardship.
Cost is the consequence of our behavior.
And with energy, cost is not just money- it is our impact on the environment, our health and our future. |
