EarthCare Taskforce

We believe that climate change is among the largest challenges ever faced by humanity and disproportionately affects disadvantaged people around the world and in Charlotte, including people of color.

We seek to provide understandable information and education about the science that underlies our belief about climate change and lead prayerful responses to mitigate its effects by addressing the root cause of climate change for members of First Presbyterian and in the Greater Charlotte area.

Each quarter the EarthCare Taskforce shares information and steps you can take to address climate change. If you are interested in becoming involved in our EarthCare activities at First Presbyterian, click the button below.

Global Recycling Day – March 18

If we wish to leave this environment to upcoming generations, we must practice recycling in our own homes. Do you see waste as something useless, or as a chance to create something new? A local resource for ways to recycle is the Innovation Barn at 9323 Seigel Ave. You can also donate unneeded items to one of the many non-profit organizations that then give the items to those in need or resell them and use the proceeds to provide financial assistance. You can help build a better future through recycling.
