Faith & Environment Weekly Topic:
Recycling
Don’t forget to recycle your glass jars and bottles!
Recycling glass is an easy choice compared to plastic items. No searching for the recycle triangles and no trying to remember which numbers to recycle. Just recycle all of your glass discards.
-
Making something new from recycled glass reduces the use of energy and releases less CO2 than making new glass.
- Glass can be recycled over and over again without any loss in quality.
- Glass produced from recycled glass reduces air pollution by 20% and reduces water pollution by 50%.
- Recycling glass reduces the spread of landfills that would otherwise be taken up by used bottles and jars.

Celebrating Camp Read-A-Lot!
Be Loved, Be Kind, Be You
We’ve enjoyed a wonderful time exploring compassion and practicing reading skills at Camp Read-A-Lot!
Watch the video story, Reading Is An Adventure, written by Faith United Friends, and the song Love To Read written by Faith United’s Dave and Rama Reese. Also, check out the 2021 Camp Read-A-Lot slideshow video featuring pictures from this year’s Camp Read-A-Lot.
The Camp Read-A-Lot videos will be available for at least 30 days. Share the week 1 and week 2 videos with friends, family, grandchildren and neighbors. Due to copyright licensing for resources in our videos, they can not be posted to public websites and social media, but sharing the email links is okay!
Special thanks to all the volunteers who worked behind the scenes, participated in the video, and assisted with Wednesday’s in-person event! You are greatly appreciated!
