GREEN TEAM’S LAWN CONVERSION PROJECT
We are replacing the strip of lawn along El Monte on the St. William campus with colorful, drought-tolerant, low maintenance plants to conserve water, save money, and add beauty. The project was conceived by the Green Team and supported by Fr. John and the staff. Several generous parishioners have provided most of the funding. Please put us over the top by sponsoring a plant. They range in price from $15 to $150. Consider the cost of coffee or lunch with a friend.
About the Green Team
Inspired by Pope Francis’ 2015 letter on the care of creation and principles of Catholic Social Teaching, the Green Team seeks ways to save energy, manage waste, and consume less. The first project is the new waste bins in sets of three: compost, recycle, and landfill. If you would like to participate in these efforts contact Karen Shea-Daley at k.shea.daley@mindspring.com
