Green Tips for September:
-
As a ROLE MODEL, you can... show family, friends, colleagues, neighbors through your actions that taking care of creation and justice are important and possible. Using words is also helpful.
-
As an INVESTOR you can.... vet your bank, insurance, and investment companies to make sure your funds are not supporting fossil fuels. If they don't align with your with values, divest and let the company know why. Make your money work for greater good.
-
As an INVESTIGATOR, you can... be on alert for green washing, the practice of using language to imply sustainability but not following through with appropriate action. Telling the public to recycle plastic when very little is actually recyclable is one form of green washing.
-
As a DOER, you can... minimize food waste and maximize through composting what you can't minimize, pick up litter, plant pollinator and food gardens, and turn out lights especially during spring and fall bird migrations.

Be creative in how you take care of God's gift of creation and those who live in it. Call Amy DeVore at the Church Office to let us know what you are doing.
