Story of Stuff

The "Story of Electronics" is very informative about how electronics affect the environment. Always recycle your old electronics, care for the ones you have (so they last longer), and purchase from companies that use recycled materials in their products, if possible. http://www.storyofstuff.org/movies-all/story-of-electronics/ 

"Small Business Saturday"

"Small Business Saturday" (November 26, 2011) is about pledging to shop locally to support local, small businesses instead of shopping online or at large box stores. This doesn't have to be just at Christmas time and it helps the environment best when you are buying services or goods that are local not made in China and shipped thousands of miles to get to you. A bonus is that it helps create/keep jobs in the US.

Creation Stewardship and Advocacy

If you would like to learn more about how you can be more involved in "Creation Stewardship and Advocacy", there is a one day workshop at Camp Stevens in Julian on May 15th. This event is being created by an interfaith environmental community here in San Diego. Talk to Erin or Tim Martinson if you would like more information.
