GREEN?

"Stirring the Pot" article Pat Plant, HAE wrote for Presbyterian Womens Horizon's Magazine on how Hunger Action Enablers are blending their hunger ministries with environmental concerns.

Our cities and counties are concerned with the need for more recycling and re-use of products in order to better deal with the mounting landfil and other environmental concerns (carbon production, limited water, pollution, public health, etc.)
Besides recycling and re-use, cities are concerned with water, power-use and the products used in building and landscaping.
