Soft Plastic Recycling
Overbook Church had just earned its designation as an Earth Care community when the COVID-19 crisis forced us back into our homes. But our efforts to reach 500 pounds of collected plastics and earn a recycled plastics bench are continuing. Here's how it works:
- Collect all your soft plastics, like plastic grocery store bags, bread bags, plastic wrap, etc.
- Weigh the plastics
- Email a member of the Green Team (Kadie Whalen, Gretchen Boger, or Margene Biedermann) with the weight (THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STEP!)
- Drop the plastic at a collection recycling box, such as outside Giant or Acme
- PRO TIP: One easy method to weigh plastic is to hold it in your hands and jump on the scale. Note the number on the scale. Then put down the plastic, jump on the scale again and note the difference. (This is also a great opportunity to get your kids involved in an eco-friendly home math assignment).
- Overbrook Presbyterian Church is Certified as a PC(USA) Earth Care Congregation
- Overbrook Presbyterian Church was certified as an Earth Care Congregation by Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)'s Presbyterian Hunger Program through February 2021. This honor speaks to the great commitment that (Name) Presbyterian Church has made to care for God’s earth.
-
- To become an Earth Care Congregation, this congregation affirmed an Earth Care Pledge to integrate environmental practices and thinking into their worship, education, facilities, and outreach.
- The Earth Care Congregation certification is designed to recognize churches that make the commitment to take seriously God’s charge to “till and keep” the garden.
- Started in 2010 by the PC(USA), the goal of this program is to inspire churches to care for God’s earth in a holistic way, through integrating earth care into all aspects of their church life. The Earth Care Congregation certification honors churches that make that commitment and encourages others to follow their example.
- “It is exciting that Overbrook Presbyterian Church is one of the 264 churches that chose to dedicate themselves to intentional care of God’s earth this year. In a time of much uncertainty and worry about the future, this congregation’s activities and commitment brings hope to their community. Overbrook Presbyterian Church will inspire others to respond intentionally to God’s call to care for the earth,” says Jessica Maudlin, Associate for Sustainable Living and Earth Care Concerns for the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
