Recycled products on sale in the Fellowship Hall

You can reduce your carbon footprint by purchasing quality recycled and earth-friendly household products right in our Fellowship Hall!  Paper towels and toilet tissue made locally from recycled paper have an added benefit.  Six persons with developmental disabilities in one of the poorest neighborhoods in St. Petersburg now have new jobs sorting recycled paper.  Also, there are plastic bags made from recycled plastic and biodegradable cleaning products.  Use the items at home.  Take samples to your place of work or to your neighbors.  Urge them to use products like these!  You will get information about the products when you buy them, and a spiffy Florida UCC cloth grocery bag to cut down using plastic bags at the supermarket!  Kudos to Jerry Hinnant, who has taken on this project that represents one of First United’s core missions.

Energy-saving light bulbs are on sale

Energy-saving light bulbs are on sale in the Fellowship Hall for just $2.00 each!  They last for seven years, use 16 watts of energy, and give 60 watts of light!  This is part of our church's Earth Charter consciousness.
