Ridwell Reminder

Always remember WHY we do this—our church is dedicated to creating as little waste as possible. This not only keeps things out of the landfill but some trash goes to the HERC which, when burned, is causing significant health risks to families living near the HERC. We compost because food waste in the landfill does not have oxygen to decompose, so it creates methane gas which adds to green house gases. The next featured item is pill bottles. Please bring them along with your usual items in time for our next prep party on April 7. Contact Kathy (612-590-9606) or Sue (612-703-2297) with questions 💚
