CONSERVATION – Week 24. This week’s message is about efficiency. Efficiency is getting the most out of energy and materials thereby minimizing waste. When driving, keep your speed down. Minimize heat waste with insulation. When cold, add clothes rather than heat. Only buy stuff that you need. Recycle. The planet at birth was allocated a finite amount of non-renewable energy and resources. When used, the cake is eaten.
PLEASE NOTE: If you do not wish to receive the Alpine Presbytery newsletter each week please email me at the Parish Office (stmartpresch@xtra.co.nz) so I can remove your name from the list. DO NOT click “unsubscribe”. Thank you. Anna.
