Measuring our Carbon Footprint

We recall the LCWR 2009-10 Resolution:

Faithful to our calling to foster the interconnectedness of all creation and building on the strenght of past resolutions and actions, we, the members of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, resolve to take measurable steps to reduce our congregational/community carbon footprint.

We used the Lenten Carbon Fast calendar this year to remind us of simple ways we could reduce our carbon footprint daily.

Now, as the Easter Season comes to a close, it's time to ask, "How are we doing?"

You may recall one suggestion that was made: Measure individual and community carbon footprints. How do we do that? Check out these web sites: http://www.carbonfootprint.com/ or http://www.timeforchange.org/ or http://www.nature.org/ or http://www.green.yahoo.com/

Stay tuned for more suggestions and reiterations of previous suggestions.
