My husband and I head up the Environmental Committee (or something like that) at our church. ‘Landfills are a blight on God’s creation’ is something I’m trying to emblazon on people’s minds. Simplify your lifestyle!! Use less!!

On the sunnier side, I’ve got a compost pail in our church kitchen now and am gradually seeing a little interest about what can go into it. I just say that if it grew, it’s acceptable. The composter is conveniently located near the kitchen’s back door and it’s coming along. One parishioner saves a week’s worth of compost and brings it every Sunday morning!

Thank you again for your great message. I felt ’empowered,’ reading it!
