Going Green!
These days everyone is trying to help improve the environment. There are so many ways for us to do that. Recycling, Water conservation, Transportation etc. Please check out a couple of the links below for more information on Green Seal and LEED.
Ten things Christians can do (adapted from Matthew Sleeth's Serve God, Save the Planet): 1. Turn off the faucet while shaving, brushing teeth, and washing hands. 2. Pre-cycle by buying minimally packaged goods and choosing reusable over disposable. 3. Buy only "tree free" toilet paper, paper towels, and tissues made from recycled paper. 4. Bike, walk, carpool, or use public transportation instead of driving. 5. Change at least five light bulbs to compact fluorescents. 6. Install low-flow showerheads. 7. Caulk and weather strip around windows and doors to plug air leaks. 8. Use no pesticides or chemicals on your lawn or garden. 9. Pick one endangered species and do something to help save it. 10. Pray for people whose forests and habitats have been destroyed by material consumption.
