I will continue to petition and press TIAA-CREF (my retirement fund) to offer a carbon-free fund option.

I will contribute at least $2000 worth of well-certified voluntary carbon offsets (e.g., from carbonfund.org) to one or both of churches named above to reduce their respective net carbon footprints. In addition, I will continue to advocate that both churches switch from traditional to renewable energy in the coming year, toward the goal of becoming net carbon neutral. Finally, I will continue to urge these churches to challenge their congregants and other religious congregations to do likewise, in the hope of kindling a “Carbon Neutral Congregations” movement.
