    Carbon Tracker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Thanks to the Diocese of California, our whole church has a new tool to support anyone who wants to make more life-giving choices about how we inhabit the earth. The Carbon Tracker is a web-based application that helps individuals, households, congregations, and even dioceses to measure your carbon footprint and take steps to shrink it to fit a sustainable life. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
