Creation Care Committee
Climate Connections Pilot Program
St. Andrew’s Creation Care committee continues to look for ways to reduce our impact on our environment.
- We use compostable products for coffee hours and fellowship events; we use beverage dispensers rather than plastic water bottles;
- We’ve reduced our use of paper by encouraging viewing the Sunday bulletins on a device
- We’ve replace halogen bulbs with LEDs throughout the facility and parking lot.
- The Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles has some great resources and tips: Click here to view.
Share your ideas on how we can, as a community and as individuals, take better care of our planet. Contact Kathy Cartelli.
