Florida's Right to Clean Water Amendment
​
The United Methodist Church Supports Clean Water Amendments
Part of our call to social justice as United Methodists is to work to ensure that people all over the world have clean water and that our access to safe water is protected. You can read more about this call and commitment here: Clean Water • GBCS (umcjustice.org) and our call to protecting waterways and water resources here: Social Principles: The Natural World (umc.org)
Clean water is vital to our future as Floridians and toward the health of our state's environment. Right now, there is something that we can do about this issue on the state level. The Florida Conference Creation Care Team has endorsed the work toward a recent Florida Right to Clean Water Amendment which empowers Floridians to better hold the State accountable when it comes to Florida waters.
Any who are interested in doing something positive to help ensure clean water and protected waterways for the people and wildlife of Florida are invited to fill out a petition form (found in the worship spaces or Partin Center) supporting the amendment and return it through the offering plate or to our creation care team at Memorial
You can also avoid the paper and fill one of these petitions out online at (and learn more about it) at: floridarighttocleanwater.org

10 Hints to save energy and resources at home & work:
1. Be bright with light: Make it a habit to turn off lights/appliances when you leave a room, use timers or motion sensors to turn off lights automatically. Use Energy Star light bulbs and appliances
2. Wait to run washers: Make it a habit to do laundry or dishes when the load is full. Use cold water for laundry to reduce the microplastics produced by washing in hot water
3. Be computer efficient: Make it a habit to turn off your computer (and power strips) Screensavers don't save energy!
4. Print smarter: Make it a habit to print double sided and go paperless when possible
5. Keep your personal environment safe: Make it a habit to use non toxic cleaning products, add plants (which help absorb indoor pollution) to your home and work spaces
6. Be smart about temperatures: Make it a habit to use a thermostat timer to keep comfortable when needed, and save energy other times
7. Reduce, reuse, recycle! Make it a habit to limit consumption, repurposing saves money
8. Watch how you eat: Make it a habit to use reusable dishes, flatware, glasses. Bring your own reusable utensil kit, and bring your own take-home containers when eating out.
9. Linit kitchen waste: Make it a habit to compost kitchen scraps. Plant a garden or fruit tree
10. Weatherize: Make it a habit to keep home well insulated, get an energy audit to see what needs repair or replacement
