Centenary Goes Green! A major emphasis at Centenary centers upon our concern for the world and its future. Through on-going in church education, periodic public presentations involving noted authorities on subjects of environmental concern, and attention to the teaching of scripture Centenary is working to make a difference. Watch this page for information concerning the church's activities and suggestions as to how you can get involved. Earth Tip We recently received a question in the Green Box: What are some simple ways to stay green throughout the winter in terms of heating your house? Here’s a second tip from the Minnesota Department of Commerce on how you can stay green, use less energy for home heating, and save money in the bargain. Use a Programmable Thermostat If you adjust your thermostat 1 degree (down in winter, up in summer) for 16 hours a day, you can save 2% of your fuel bill. Letting a programmable thermostat do it for you means you won’t forget, and allows you to be comfortable when you are home, and save energy when you are gone. Easy to install, a programmable thermostat will pay for itself in no time, and it can control your furnace, air conditioner, air exchanger, and humidifier. And it is a myth that it takes more energy to bring your house back to your comfort temperature. |
