Update on Green Team.

Yes, we're still here. It's been awhile though. This past Sunday, February 10th, we had a meeting. At the meeting we discussed what we've implemented into the church, what we're working on implementing, and ideas for the future. Here are those results:

Things we're excited about that have begun.

Recycling, both office and main church.

Fair trade and Organic coffee from New Harvest Coffee Roasters and Ecocontainer cups.

Carpooling program. Though this needs a bit of organization, it is much needed for many reasons; it builds more community with your carpool buddies, the church only has so many parking spots and they often run out, with the price of gas its financially and environmentally smart. Yeah.


Things we're working on.

Carpooling, this may take a bit to get people organized and used to the idea, but it's moving forward. Also, we're accepting suggestions on how we could better execute this.

Ways we can introduce people to the Green Team at the 1in5 fair on Feb. 24th.

Researching, pricing, and hopefully implementing green cleaning, bathroom, and office supplies.

Getting more folks involved, perhaps volunteers for doing coffee, recycling, and purchasing office supplies.

Updating blog more regularly....aagghhh.

Getting a green email list going.


Ideas for the future.

Perhaps an earth day service in April with a theme of Biblical Stewardship (maybe in conjunction with Fuller Mornings, if they are still going?).

Ride your bike to church day with a short group ride afterwords (does someone want to head this up?).

Clothing swap, perhaps with the lounge (does someone want to head this up?).


With that, we at the Green Team are excited in our pursuit of wisdom in the ways that we serve and share Christ. God Bless.
