“…..We must recognize our grave duty to hand the earth on to future generations”

– Pope Benedict XVI

Stewardship Recommendation:  Consider zero-waste options for picnics, BBQ, and camping meals.  Reusable items add a touch of class, sensibility, and significantly reduce waste.  Use lightweight reusable plates, utensils, bowls, cups and cloth napkins.  Get creative with packaging.  Reusable containers, mason jar desserts, heavy on finger foods such as cut vegetables and nuts.  Take beverages in metal or glass containers and skip the bottled water.  It saves money and the environment.
