Earth Care
- During the holidays Americans throw out an extra 25 million tons of garbage. As an Earth Care Congregation, let’s do what we can to reduce that. Reuse gift bags, ribbon & bows. Use recycled paper. Send e-cards. Recycle everything you can! FPC’s recycling center, behind the Shetler Building at the corner of Elm Street & Fisher Avenue, has containers for glass and styrofoam.
