Creation Care Pledge
• Our faith calls us to care for creation both for the world’s well-being and our own. We are connected in a great web of life that links together the love of God and neighbor with that of God’s while creation.
• I wish to join a movement of those dedicated to prudently using the gifts we have been given by reducing household energy usage by at least 14% or less than ½ that of an average Hoosier household that is the size of my household.
• I understand that I do not act alone but in concert with this community, as well as with many other faith communities, as together we respond to this great challenge of our time.
