Earth Keepers

Welcome from the Trinity Environment Team!

“Welcome to the Earth Keepers Home Page!  Please feel free to invite your friends and extended family to join in!  We hope you will enjoy tackling the Challenges designed to help us all make better choices for our planet home.

How it works:

Aim to complete the current Challenge within a month and come back to find a new Challenge at the beginning of next month.  It’s fine to join the process at any time.  You can always find links to previous Challenges on this Earth Keepers Home Page.

When you have completed a Challenge, let us hear from you about what you have discovered; send pictures or a short video or an email with your experience to earthkeepers@trinitybranford.org. Unless you ask us not to, we will celebrate your good work in the church newsletter, “Trinity in Touch.”

Challenge #1 - Plastics Challenge

This challenge is designed to help increase our awareness of plastics in our daily life. Logs are provided in Steps 1 and 3, so have fun with your family or just educate yourself on how to help our planet by reducing the impact of the plastic products we use and the waste we generate.  When you complete the log in Step 3, you will be able to see our collective progress. 

And here’s the fun part - You can win a prize in any of the steps.   Check back every month to see who won and why.    Each months’ winner will be announced in Trinity in Touch and during announcements in Sunday service.  If you are present, collect your prize.  If not, we will make arrangements.
