The Green Committee has been working on the greening of the church in various ways.
Here are 10 things GreenAmerica says you should never buy again
1 - styrofoam cups -paper cups are an alternative
2 - paper towels -its possible to do without them; sponges work the same way
3 - bleached coffee filters -you can get non-bleached filters
4 - bottled water -Concord, MA has outlawed them
5 - chemical pesticides and herbicides -they tend to make the situation worse eventually
6 - conventional household cleaners -most supermarkets have non-toxic cleaners
7 - toys made with PVC plastic -examine at the label
8 - plastic forks and spoons -the Church is guilty here. The compostable alternative costs more
9 - farm raised salmon -wild caught is usually available in the same market
10 - teak and mahogany -harvested by clear-cutting which is creating erosion
