Last Sunday, the Faithful Footprints team joined Meadowwood United Church in celebrating the commissioning of their geothermal system!

With support from Faithful Footprints (alongside many others), the congregation at Meadowwood United Church was able to completely transition off of fossil fuels, saving 18 tonnes of carbon emissions annually. This project has already inspired other local community groups to explore geothermal energy - they're leading their community towards a green energy future!

The highlight of the day might have been the Meadowwood Choir singing an original (and hilarious) song celebrating their new geothermal system :) Hope you all enjoy!
