Earth Day Sunday

Our Earth Day Service at John Knox Presbyterian, was thought provoking and informative.  Dr. Jeff London had a wonderful message we MUST hear and respond too. (You can read his sermon on JK's website: johnknoxchurch.org)    God's Creation is in peril and groaning and we can sleep no more.  We must awake and begin to take action, to let our voices be heard in Congress.  We cannot wait for government...we the people, must join with our brothers and sisters around the globe.
We can start with the small baby steps:
1) Recycle and buy minimally packed goods as much as possible.
2) Wash clothes in cold or warm water, not hot.
3) Install low-flow shower heads to use less water
4) Run the dishwasher only when full and don't use heat to dry dishes.
5) Replace standard light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs
6) Plug air leaks in windows and dodors to increase energy efficiency
7) Replace old appliances with energy efficient models
8) Walk, bike, carpool or use public transportation whenever possible
9) Adjust your thermostat- lower in winter, higher in summer
10) Share these simple steps with friends and family and increase awareness

We can do this. Let's be part of the solution for our grandchildren.
P-s-s-t...DO SOMETHING! Carpe Diem
Peace and Joy
