The Green Team is engaged in a number of issues related to caring for God’s creation. Our mission is to work on ways for members of the congregation to reduce waste by recycling and improving energy efficiency, both in our life together and in our homes, and provide opportunities for education, engagement and public advocacy in caring for this beautiful Earth.
Current on-going activities include:
- Engagement with the Michigan Chapter of Interfaith Power and Light to promote awareness and action on climate change.
- Energy efficiency improvements to the Church and associated structures. This includes an effort at exploring potential development of a solar energy system for the church.
- Promote recycling at Church as well as by congregation members.
- Maintaining a pollinator garden and providing increased awareness of the value of pollinators.
- Cooperating with Meridian Township Parks and Recreation in habitat improvement projects.
