Recycling
Have a campaign to get all church members to recycle.
Provide recycling bins and a list of things the
local trash pick-up will accept.
Have a glass collection once a month.
Many cities won’t pick up glass in the recycling bins, so it requires
gas and effort to drive to the recycling centers that accept glass.
To make it convenient for folks and to save
energy, get a couple of volunteers with a pick-up truck or van who are willing to collect the glass and take it
to the recycling center the next day.
Make sure the church has recycling bins at various places in the church, especially the office area and the
social hall where food is served.
Education/Worship
Have a green film series and provide popcorn and time for discussion afterwards.
Or sponsor a speaker
series about practical ways to go green.
Have an Earth Stewardship column in your church bulletin or newsletter, combining practical tips,
inspiration and motivation.
