The York Center Green Fair I spoke at last weekend made it into local news, the Lombard Spectator, in a cute little story about my Pastor Christy Waltersdorff. Isn’t she adorable!
“This congregation is very involved in a lot of environmental issues,” she said. “If we believe God created the world and gave us stewardship of it, I can’t imagine why people would not be out taking a stand.”
The Green Fair featured presentations on various environmental topics and also highlighted the church’s commitment to reduce CO2 emissions by 80 percent by the year 2050, said Loren Habegger, a church member and the person Waltersdorff credits with coming up with the idea of a Green Fair.
That’s really quite an impressive commitment. Too bad this climate crisis we’re living in will require nothing less.
