Does your church/congregation support enviormentally friendly practices?

Question

I'm just curious. I'm a part of a Unitarian Universalist congregation and personally a Wiccan, so the answer for me is a resounding YES.
IF so, what enviormentally friendly practices have you incorporated into your daily/weekly life?
IF not, why?
I'm not preaching about global warming. Just curious how many people's spirtual awareness is connected to their compassion for the ecosystem.

Answer 1

No, not really. We Christians know that Jesus is coming sooner or later, and he's not going to let us COMPLETELY destroy his planet before he comes. We try to be good stewards, but we also realize that human beings are a heck of a lot more important than anything else. And we also take any "Science" the government pushes with a grain of salt. I know you're not talking global warming here, but watch "The Great Global Warming Swindle"

Answer 2

Your question is certainly thought provoking. As a Christian, I have a certain responsibility as steward of the planet. But as the previous responder pointed out, Christianity views people more important than environment.
The book of The Revelation tells us that after Christ returns, there will be a great judgment of all mankind, after which the lost will be eternally separated from God and there will be a "New Heaven and New Earth".
Assuming that this is all true (and I believe it is) the earth will not perish until after Christ's return. The destruction of the earth is indicated in the prophesies. If the prophesies are true, then our impact on the earth may be substantial, but not critical until that time.

Answer 3

As the poster above pointed as a Christian, care for the planet is an issue of stewardship. God put man in charge of His creation. So I think taking care of the environment is important.

Our church recycles paper and plastic products, which is a lot (our church has over 5,000 people attending regularly). Our church is also located next to a park. It's a public park but we have "adopted" it. So we clean it and keep it up so that more people from the community will want to use it.
