Looking for practical ways to reduce your impact on the environment? Saint Mark’s Creation Care Ministry is hosting Climate Conversations about everyday things in our lives. These monthly conversations are held on environmentally-friendly Zoom on the first Tuesday evening of each month from 5:30–6:30pm. December’s topic will be Creation Care Perspectives on Shopping at Christmas Time. As we head towards Christmas, it’s easy to get caught up in a cycle of decorating our homes and buying presents for family or friends with little concern for the environment. Taking a Creation Care perspective enables us to consider conservation and climate when we shop and give gifts or decorate in eco-friendly ways that help rather than harm the planet. We’ll discuss the impact of traditional shopping trends, the importance of giving eco-friendly gifts, how to select the right presents or experiences as gifts, and how a creation care perspective makes gifting more purposeful and meaningful.
