One of the many things that drew us together from the beginning was our love for the environment and our dedication to lessening our personal impact upon it. From using the tandem bicycle for our weekend errands to catching rainwater from the roof for use in the garden, we greatly enjoy working together in our quest to align the way we live our lives with this philosophy. For this reason, we are requesting that any wedding gifts be in the form of a contribution to our 'greening' fund (details now below). This fund will be used toward improvement projects to make our home more energy efficient and thus kinder to the environment. Rob has now set up a savings account for those who wish to give a gift towards our fund; therefore, we would appreciate that any cheques be payable to him, or if you prefer to make a direct deposit to the bank, please just email us for the account details. Since people have asked for specifics of our 'greening' plans, here's the idea: The main improvement we would like to fund is to add solar panels to our home, to reduce our reliance on electricity from the grid. We would also like to add another water catchment tank, upgrade our refrigerator with a more efficient model and continue to expand the vegetable garden. |
