Ah, kindness. What a simple way to tell another struggling soul that there is love to be found in this world.

 

Green Team tips:

US consumers spend up to 10,000 times more per gallon for bottled water than for tap water.

Many idle electronics—TVs, DVD players, stereos, microwaves—use energy even when switched off to keep display clocks lit and remote controls working. Switch off power strips and unplug electrical devices when you're not using them.

Words of Wisdom: 

Helping others is the way we help ourselves. ~Oprah Winfrey

 

Green Team tips:

Consider switching to e-billing. In the US, paper products make up the largest percentage of municipal solid waste, and hard copy bills alone generate almost 2 million tons of CO₂.

Plant a tree. An average tree can absorb 1 ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime.

The average US office worker goes through 10,000 sheets of copy paper per year. Print on both sides and in draft mode whenever feasible.

 With the sacristy renovations nearing completion and the new sacristy being blessed on Sunday, there was discussion about what to do with our wide array of liturgical banners. Why not put them on the back wall of the nave?
