Care for Creation Theological Statement“The earth is the Lord’s and everything therein.” Creation is God’s gift to us – the gift of good land, good water, good air – and we are placed
in the garden to tend and care for the earth as God’s stewards, as earthkeepers. We keep the faith in part by keeping the earth, by
conserving it in good health for future generations, exercising restraint for the sake of others yet to come, repairing and restoring what has come undone out of love for the Creator and compassion for others.

The CO2 emissions coming just from the electricity in Kate Dunning's home used to total 20,000 pounds. • She changed 75% of her bulbs to compact fluorescent in August ‘06• Has seen a 50% reduction in her electricity use on her utility bill • Will save nearly 10,000 pounds of CO2 this year alone, just from switching bulbs
• Initial investment = just under $200 • Reached payback after 4 months• Annual savings will be $600.
