Make a New Year's Resolution to Watch Your Waste

The end-of-year holiday season is a time of great generosity, but it's also a time of great excess.According to the EPA, the volume of household waste in the United States increases 25% between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. That's 1 million extra tons of trash in our landfills.  We can do better! And we are. You can join us in our efforts to rein in our refuse by taking part in our free Waste Wise program. Through Waste Wise, your congregation will receive a waste audit to see what's going in your dumpster, tips on how to better recycle, reuse, and repurpose your resources, and greater insight on the connection between our trash and our faith.See Waste Wise in action at North Decatur Presbyterian Church, in this video by GreenShortz:Call us today to get on our calendar for a waste audit in 2016 — we'll set you on the path to a sustainable new year!And don't forget, our work is sustained through donations from faithful supporters like you.
