Lenten Creation Care

As we seek to care for God’s creation this Lent, let’s rethink our consumption of single use plastic.  Only 9% of the nine billion tons of plastic the world has ever produced has been recycled. Most ends up in landfills, dumps or in the environment, in our rivers and oceans, where they cause a plethora of problems. The most common single-use plastics, in order of magnitude, that are found in the environment are: cigarette butts, plastic drinking bottles, plastic bottle caps, food wrappers, plastic grocery bags, plastic lids, straws and stirrers, other types of plastic bags, and foam take-away containers. Consider alternatives to single-use plastic. Click here for more information.
