GREENFAITH WORKSHOP: This workshop will be conducted by Rev. Fletcher Harper, Executive Director of GreenFaith, New Jersey's interfaith coalition for the environment. It is sponsored by the Summit Coalition on Climate Change and will be held on Sunday afternoon September 30, 2007, at Central Presbyterian Church in Summit from 2:30 to 5:00 p.m.

Participants will have the opportunity to develop an energy conservation plan for their own house of worship which can apply to their homes.

Green Bible Verse for today: Genesis 8:22 - While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.

Green Tip: Water before 10 a.m. when temperatures are cooler and less moisture is lost to evaporation. The energy used to supply water releases a tremendous amount of greenhouse gas. In five minutes, a running faucet uses as much energy as a 60 watt light bulb burns in 14 hours.
