I attended a wonderful brass concert a couple weeks ago at Lexington's Centenary United Methodist Church where I noticed several recycling stations and other "green-friendly" ideas. Two doors down at my home church, I knew that nothing like this existed.
The current issue (online, free subscription required) of Sojourner's magazine has an article about how to "Green Your Church." It gives some basic tips: start with recycling, ground everything in faith terms to generate excitement and recognition that being 'green' isn't just hippie talk - it is about caring for God's creation, and do something!
The article linked to an interesting organization, Interfaith Power and Light, which has a Kentucky chapter that recognizes what various churches are doing to go green.
As was stated in the Southern Baptist Declaration on the Environment and Climate Change (March 2008), "The time for timidity regarding God's creation is no more."
