Green Christmas

As we prepare for a season of festivities, gatherings and joy, THINK GREEN!

GIFTS

• Reduce packaging and wrapping, especially single use.
• Buy toys and clothing that are gently used.
• Encourage green/environmentally conscious and sustainable options.
• Encourage small businesses and local merchants.
• Encourage fair trade.

FOOD

• Reduce leftovers in your gatherings; methane produced by food which ends up in the landfill generates approximately 25 times more GHG emissions than fossil fuels!!!

FOR OTHERS

• Increase our donations to the impoverished population of the planet.
• Reduce car trips in favor of online gatherings.
• Don’t forget the housebound and isolated, the sick and the seniors.

PRAYER
God incarnate comes to the rejected corners of the world, far from palaces and feasts. Jesus was born in a simple and bare creche. Jesus appears in our quiet heart, far from the noise and commotion of the world. Come meet him with open hands, offered and grateful in these blessed days full of hope and commit to collaborate with Him to recreate a world respectful of each and everyone of His creatures, and of all His Creation.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
