Climate App presentation with Dr. Sheila Andrus

On Epiphany Sunday, January 6, please join us in welcoming Dr. Sheila Andrus, who will speak to the congregation about a newly released climate action carbon tracker application. Dr. Andrus will do a demonstration of the app in the parish hall between 10:15 and 11:15. The new app, called “Sustaining Earth our Island Home,” is a web-based platform that will allow users to measure their carbon footprint, take individual actions to reduce carbon emissions, measure their progress and that of their community, and share ideas with others who are using the app. The Episcopal Church has endorsed this app at General Convention and the Diocese of California has begun rolling it out this fall. Bishop Marc has requested that All Souls be one of several parishes to begin trying it out. The app is quite easy to use. After creating a user profile and entering some basic information that will give an estimate of your household’s CO2 emissions, you will be given information on steps you can take to reduce your carbon emissions. For more information, see Lewis Maldonado’s September 27 Pathfinder article, or talk to Glenn Brown, Terry Nicol, Paloma Pavel, Lewis, or Phil.
