Environmental Justice

To promote environmental stewardship activities within the congregation and staff of First Presbyterian Church and our local community through education and conservation activities

Significant or new or unusual accomplishments from this program year:  

• Participation in the Scarlet, Gray and Green Fair at the OARDC in April
• Introduction of polystyrene (Styrofoam) recycling to the congregation and the OARDC Fair
• Weekly environmental stewardship statements appeared on the screen in the Gathering Area

The committee continues to keep ‘green stewardship’ in front of the church through the Adopt – a Highway program, washing china cups after ‘coffee hour’ and recycling in the office of cardboard, plastic and aluminum.  This was the second year of our “Earth Sunday” parade around the block after 2nd service.  Also, tennis shoe collection was offered for the second year.
