What’s wrong with wasting a little food?

We’ve gotten pretty good at recycling paper, plastics, and aluminum. But how about all that food waste that ends up in your garbage can or sent down the water pipes from your garbage disposal? Did you know that, among other things, food that ends up in the landfill exacerbates the climate crisis by producing greenhouse gases? The government estimates that the impact ranges from 8-10 percent of global emissions.

So for this month’s Reduce, Recycle, Reuse, and Rot topic, the Earth Care Team is providing resources on what to do with your food scraps. We’ll highlight three approaches: municipal drop-off locations; compost pickup services; and backyard composting. Come visit our table before or after services on March 15 and 22.

February 2026

Did the recent Ice Storm and unusually low temperatures get your attention? Did it motivate you to try to figure out some more ways to fight climate change? Excellent, because this month the Earth Care Team will be sharing information about Tweaking your Diet to Fight Climate Change. We will be talking about the Whys and the Hows of changing our diets. We’re looking forward to some engaging conversations. Are there changes you have already made and would recommend to others? Curious what more you can do? Come by the Earth Care Team table before or after church on February 15th at the Small Group Fair and February 22nd. We’re excited to see you there!
