GREEN PSC

Statement from the Presbyterian Mission Agency:

“God created the earth, and it is sacred. As Psalm 24:1 proclaims, “The earth is the Lord’s, and all that is in it.” Therefore we are called to stewardship of the earth. When we work to protect creation, we are answering God’s call to till and keep the garden (Genesis 2:15). In the face of deepening ecological crises caused by the earth’s warming, our call to act as earth’s caretakers takes on more meaning. Our efforts will curtail the shrinking of sacred waters, the endangerment of living creatures of every kind, and the vulnerability of our brothers and sisters in developing countries.”

What We’re Already DOing

  • Recycling & Compost bins in multiple, high use areas of the building. Compost pile in back yard.

  • only reusable table settings (plates, silverware, cups, mugs and napkins)

  • Replacing all fixtures with high efficiency light bulbs.

Sustainability Goals

  • Install solar panels to provide carbon-free energy to the building, apartment, and cottage.

  • Upgrade to all energy-efficient and low-flow appliances.

  • Convert weekly dinners to a sustainable cooking classes, so that the next generation is being educated in the practices of sustainability.
