Our Commitment to the Environment

Rev. Heron has been a supporter of green energy solutions for decades.

As part of that commitment, the hosting for this website (and all our sites since 2017) is on a platform that supports 300% green energy. 300% green energy means that the hosting company chooses to support their yearly electricity use by purchasing another two companies worth of Renewable Energy Credits. They also plant a tree with every hosting account (to date, this amounts to over 55,000 trees planted.

We also participate in Stripe Climate – where 1% of our revenue is dedicated to carbon removal projects. In this way, you also contribute to the environmental efforts simply through booking your ceremony!

In addition, Rev. Heron’s home and office are powered by solar energy, and other eco friendly practices are followed, such as recycling, reducing waste, xeriscaping, and composting. Even her electric car is powered by solar energy! Living in Utah, which has an average of 238 sunny days per year, makes going solar a very easy and sustainable choice. With a 29 panel system, and the addition of backup batteries, there are a large majority of days per year where the solar array sends a surplus of energy back to the grid!

Even without the sun, a heat pump exchange system also reduces reliance on fossil fuels, and fully electric water heating also contributes to this reduction in natural gas usage.
