Hello friends,

One of our Recycling Block Leaders sent me the email below. I think they're really starting a great thing & hope that some of you our there can provide some specific ideas and/or resources to help them out. Any comments or suggestions are welcome!

REMEMBER: REDUCE, REUSE AND RECYCLE!

Excerpt:
"I'm involved with a ministry at my church. Our parish is about 12,000 families strong (unofficial estimate). We are starting a ministry called EarthCare. We would like to have some help getting this off the ground. We met, found that there are an awful lot of recycling/conservation issues and are feeling a bit overwhelmed...without direction. Our first mission is to do a Reuse table and have some things available (to look at) after all the masses. Do you know where we could get some help (general) and/or assistance with finding practical, easy Reuse things to do at home?

Another thing we are looking for is a speaker who could talk to the community about the spiritual aspect of recycling/reuse. Would you know of anyone?

Thank you for your time. Any assistance you can offer would be appreciated.
