Individuals & Families

Every day we are faced with making choices.  We must balance all of the competing demands on our time and our wallet, from our family and our work.  We must make decisions that benefit ourselves, our family, and the environment.  So what are we to do as individuals concerned for the environment?  Just as it describes in I Corinthians 12, each of us has different gifts and different roles to play in the body of Christ, and so too it is with creation care.  We must learn to embrace the gifts we have been given. If you are looking for your place in the faith-based environmental movement, we want to help you find your way.

There are several ways for individuals and families to take part in caring for creation.
