Green Resources

There seems to be a growing awareness and momentum among the Church at large towards preserving and caring for the creation. Obviously, we do not want this become an all-consuming endeavour (and thus a form of religion), but rather a response to our coming to know the heart of God. My dear friend from Victoria, James Kingsley has highlighted several great resources, including a movement he is trying to start himself.
Check out James' Small(er) Blog. Pass this site on to your friends at other churches!
The Anglican Church of Canada has also created a great initiative at greeningspirit.ca.

Are you remodelling your bathroom? The City of Toronto has a bunch of rebates for water-saving measures. Check out the city's website.

I haven't fully checked out this site, but it seems interesting - http://whatwouldjesusdrive.org/.

An article high in rhetoric, but challenging nonetheless from Geez Magazine, entitled "High efficiency Worship".

Check out greenopolis.ca. It is a simple and great site for helpful tips to easily live a little greener. Find the closest location to recycle your ink cartridges. "There are over 100 million printer cartridges used in Canada each year. Only 5-10% of these are presently recycled" - from greenopolis.ca. Spring Garden also has a box in the side entrance where you can drop off your ink cartridges to be recycled or reused.

The weather network also has some good resources on the science of climate change.
