The Considerate Thing to Do,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ecofaith: Creating and Sustaining Green Congregations (Paperback)
In Charlene Hosenfeld's Eco-Faith, environmental stewardship is as much a moral issue, as a political, social, and ecological issue. Individually, or acting within a community or congregation, this manual is a great resource for taking steps--baby or more generous, to becoming caregivers of our world. I enjoyed the thoughtfully organized, concise, and easy to follow layout of the book. It's chock full of helpful suggestions & resources that do not leave the reader feeling overwhelmed but rather excited and hopeful. In understanding the interconnected of environmental responsibility, religious faith and psychological well-being, it becomes clear that becoming green (or greener) is the considerate thing to do.

Easy And Practical Way To Go Green,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ecofaith: Creating and Sustaining Green Congregations (Paperback)
This book could not be more timely in making the necessary moves to keep God's earth green. It is well-organized and easy for congregations, or anyone for that matter, to follow. More information is presented through many links to web and print resources. My family is already making changes and using the book as a guide to conserving the earth.

A Practical Handbook for Going Green,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ecofaith: Creating and Sustaining Green Congregations (Paperback)
It is an encyclopedic source for ideas in conservation and treating our planet as sacred grounds. All congregational leaders need to read the book and review their use of energy and conservation of natural resources. Small study groups could use the book for raising member awareness. Individuals will find the book a handy reference for making daily changes in their use of resources.
