St. Paul's Green Team Report to Charge Conference -
December 2012
The Green Team has become an official committee at St.
Paul's and is comprised of those interested in all things "Green".
St.Paul's has become the first UMC congregation to join
Delaware Interfaith Power and Light. We look forward to working with other faith
communities to address the issues associated with climate
change.
The office recycles all paper, cardboard, metals,
batteries, toner cartridges, etc. We also have a recycle bin in each classroom
and in each kitchen which takes care of cans, glass, plastics, etc. We are
using long life light bulbs and taking them to the appropriate recycling
plant.
The church obtains free mulch from tree and landscaping
businesses.
The church recycles coffee grounds and uses "Fair-Trade"
coffee for fellowship hour.
The Green Team continues to work with other groups in the
church to reduce, reuse, and recycle. Following up on our successful
replacement of an aging heating system, we are now exploring ways to reduce our
lighting footprint.
