Providence Baptist Church

 Green Power Survey

In November 2008 the church completed surveys and found that many of us were doing things that were helpful.  We had members who had purchased hybrid vehicles, energy efficient appliances, compact fluorscent lightbulbs and we found that some individuals have changed their driving habits.  The church recycles paper and collects ink cartridges.  Most importantly we found that although we were not 100% "green" we were taking steps toward better or more effecient use of our resources.
