Commission on the Environment
Who We Are
The Commission on the Environment of the Episcopal Diocese of Northern California is a group of individuals from across the diocese who are passionate about caring for God’s creation.
Our efforts are inspired by our Baptismal vows where we promise “to seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself, and strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being.” Being healers of the environment is being loving toward our neighbors. It is addressing climate justice and expressing respect for the dignity of every human being.
What We Do
The Commission’s primary focus is helping congregations reduce their carbon footprint and move toward carbon neutrality by 2030. Key elements include:
-
A simple 4-step process: form a Green Team, complete a carbon-footprint assessment, receive an energy-efficiency evaluation, and create a plan to reduce fossil-fuel use
-
Guidance on funding and implementing carbon-reduction projects
Additional support includes:
-
Resources for worship, study, and spiritual formation
-
Advocacy for climate-justice policy
-
Tools to help parishioners reduce their carbon footprint at home
We are called to care for creation courageously so it remains life-giving for all our neighbors, near and far.
When We Meet
The Commission meets by zoom on the second Thursday of the month at 1 pm. To participate or learn more, please contact Miriam Casey at ednccoe@gmail.com
