Set up one of four tables with handouts on how to live a zero waste lifestyle, eco-friendly products made from bamboo, and discussed local recycling resources with church members.

In celebration of our church's Earth Day Sunday event, my wife and I set up a table of educational materials featuring a Zero Waste lifestyle. Products made from bamboo were on display as well as a listing of eco-friendly businesses in our community. My wife and I prepared a number of informational handouts in addition to handing out a manual of Gainesville's Recycling Resource Guide, which we received from our city's Public Works Dept.The goal was to keep our congregation informed about the need to protect and preserve God's creation. Ours is an Earth Care Congregation.
