Green Team
St. Andrew’s Green Team
On February 16, 2023, twelve people gathered to brainstorm ways that St. Andrew’s might live out the church’s calling in our Creed “to live with respect in creation” and to respond to the climate crisis.
These initiatives were highlighted:
- Work with community
- Build a Pollinator Garden
- Reduce the St. Andrew’s carbon footprint by 80% by 2050
- Learn about/begin composting
- Do an Energy Audit
- Educate on solar panels/heat pumps
And so the direction of the Green Team was determined.
Much has been done, much is still being done, much needs to be started.
Notice the major church energy retrofit. Notice “Reduce Reuse Recycle” tips in the church bulletin. Notice the Pollinator Garden. Notice the composter and water barrels. Notice the Woodland Sanctuary on Woodland Drive west of 58th St.
