3. Green Questionnaire
Have you fitted a heat pump or solar panels? Have you added insulation or double glazing to your home? Have you got an electric or hybrid car? If you have, are you pleased with the outcome? What advice would you give?
Lots of people have taken some of these steps. Lots of others are thinking about them. Attached is a short questionnaire. Its purpose is to allow people in the congregation to help each other as everyone works out how to live more sustainably.
Any information you share will be only used within the congregation.
