This year you will apply for your ‘Green Certification Award’ on-line through an initiative of Greening Sacred Spaces in collaboration with EnviroAction. Greening Sacred Spaces has noticed our work here in the Diocese of Huron and asked for permission to utilize our Green Award tool. With the Green Awards as a basis they have developed their on-line version that will eventually be used by many faith groups across Canada.
Your EnviroAction Committee in the Diocese of Huron is proud of the groundwork that we have done together! Greening Sacred Spaces recognizes the commitment that has been shown by our parishes and has chosen us to do a pilot study here in the Diocese of Huron. To cover some of the administration costs of this program, Greening Sacred Spaces needs to charge a small administrative fee of $50 for the first year and $25 thereafter. During the pilot phase, Huron parishes will only need to pay $25. Certification applications to be made on-line will be due March 30th 2012. Information regarding the application process will be shared with you by email, the EnviroAction webpage and through the Huron Church News at a later date.
You will continue to receive recognition for your environmental award at the Diocese of Huron’s Synod.
We look forward to teaming up with Greening Sacred Spaces for their pilot project of online Green Certification here in Huron! Watch for more details to come: on our web page BLOG, in the Huron Church News and by email!
