Bedford Religious Leaders Call on Congregants to Save Energy at Home
Sunday, 23 October 2011 00:00
Eight local religious leaders, representing Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant congregations, have signed a declaration asking local residents to reduce the energy wasted in their homes as an important way to protect and safeguard the environment. 54 percent of Bedford’s energy use and greenhouse gas emissions originate from residential buildings.
As pioneers of the “Care For the Earth Starts at Home” campaign, eight religious leaders are distributing information to their respective houses of worship, encouraging their congregants to take advantage of the free and reduced-cost Comprehensive Home Energy Assessments offered by Energize Bedford and New York State to determine where their homes waste energy.
What are these leaders saying?
