2022 Energy Use and Carbon Reduction Survey

 

In keeping with the 2019 Convention resolution Reduction of Our Carbon Footprint,  The Creation Care Committee of the diocese is asking each congregation to fill out the information survey below so that it may begin a baseline calculation of the gains in carbon reduction made during the period 2021-2030. Additional questions ask about the variety of Creation Care ministries being undertaken by the congregations of our diocese. 

 Finally, the Committee on Creation Care invites you as individuals and congregations to join its team and make this committee a source of renewable and regenerative energy to power this critical work. Please send email using the address in the right sidebar of this page.

Thank you for your prompt cooperation.

If you have any questions regarding the questions in this survey, please email the committee, using the email shown in the right sidebar.

If you have problems submitting the form, or are not sure if your submission has gone through, please email info@dioceseny.org

Recent Utility Usage

Please review 2020 to 2021 energy utility bills (electric, fuel oil). We understand that with COVID restrictions the numbers may be less than prior years; so we also ask for a few representative months of 2019 usage. If it is easier to provide a single annual usage number for 2019 (instead of representative months) please do so. We understand that in some cases it may be possible to determine individual building use while in other cases all church-owned buildings may be billed and paid together. Because of this, simply report the amounts used as billed by your provider(s).

2020 Annual Usage
