Deacon Shirley's Lent Environmental Challenge : Use of Energy

The electricity, oil and gas our homes use mostly come from fossil fuel. There is not a realistic alternative for some of us, but we can be aware of the energy we use and adjust our lifestyle so we use less fossil fuels. Some energy companies do offer energy from renewable resources while some use partially renewable sources.
