Words of Wisdom

When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.

Feel Powerless to Get Yourself or Others to Change? Think Again.
by Carol Meyer, Executive Director 
Carol Meyer, Executive Director

It was one more book recommendation I figured I had no time to read. But then I saw it in audiobook form at the library, a definite sign to me to check it out. I did. I listened and was enthralled with Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard. I'm excited to share some of their best ideas for making our environmental work easier and more effective. Read more to find out how.

We want YOU to be at our Feb. 4 program  

The EPA: Our Best Chance for Environmental Action EPA logo
 

It's the place to be next Monday night--hobnobbing with EPA folks, putting a face on a big government department meant to be our best friend, getting the inside scoop, finding out what they're up to. Also find out what exciting things SSC is doing and hear about the latest and best congregation green initiatives.

 

We're off to a great start on our monthly programs and have had 12-20 enthusiastic people participate each time. But we want to grow. We need you and your energy, so come be a part of the learning, the interaction, and camaraderie. And it's free besides! 7-8:30 PM, Village Presbyterian Church, Room 126.

Here's something your Green Team can do about The Global Water Crisis

At the January meeting, we heard an informative program water bottle about the current challenges facing our planet regarding maintaining access to clean drinking water. We also learned about an exciting program a Green Team at a local church has done to be part of the solution.

Upcoming class at St. Michael and All Angels:
