ADLC Green Team
Agnus Dei Lutheran Church
As a community of faith, we affirm that all of God's creation is sacred, acknowledging that our very breath and nourishment come from Mother Earth. We are thus called to live fully in relationship and harmony with her, to lovingly care for what God has made. With compassion, attention, intention, and action, we choose to work individually and collectively towards conserving, protecting, and restoring the created world as we also work to deconstruct the systems threatening her very existence and health.

April 30 at 6:14 PMAs the ecochallenge comes to an 'end' (really....an end! Ha). I want to share a wonderful podcast from NPR: Throughline. For those of you not familiar to Throughline...here is their 'byline: "The past is never past. Every headline has a history. Join us every week as we go back in time to understand the present....

April 30 at 8:00 AMWhat a wonderful month of reflection this has been. We spent the day yesterday hiking in the wildflowers on land that was given in trust to become public. It makes me consider the importance of not only getting outside, but also providing places for that to happen. Today, we woke to a rainy, drizzly day and I will spent it in giving back to...

April 30 at 6:45 AMThe second stanza of the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address goes: We give thanks to our Mother the Earth, for she gives us everything we need for life. She supports our feet as we walk about upon her. It gives us joy that she still continues to care for us, just as she has from the beginning of time. To our Mother, we send thanksgiving, love,...

April 28 at 6:59 AMScientists have discovered through very interesting experiments that in the field where Birch trees and Douglass fir trees are planted together they are joined underground by mycorrhizal fungi that links them and through which resources are shared. During the warm middle of the day the Birch trees send much of their photosynthesized energy to...

April 28 at 6:44 AMHow much of what we consume, use, and do is done so for convenience sake - without regard to the outcome. Or as Randy Woodley puts it, "All the Earth is sacred, as is every life-form inhabiting it. It seems quite foolish that only after we have gone too far will we realize that no amount of capital gains, no extractive economic system,...

April 27 at 7:34 AMOften use energy bars for hikes and nutritious snacks. Been asking companies that make the plant based ones I love best to use home compostable wrappers. LivBar (a different company) uses all 100% compostable wrappers made from cellulose, They use a local Oregon manufacturer of the wrappers. Maybe if we encourage other companies that use...

April 26 at 6:57 AMWrestling with her findings studying forestry management; scientist, professor and author Suzanne Simard makes this statement. "We emphasize domination and competition in the management of trees in forests. And crops in agricultural fields. And stock animals on farms. We emphasize factions instead of coalitions. In forestry, the...
