EcoPalms

I've always thought that Easter is one of the most eco-friendly holy days--forgiveness and resurection. Yet, I was frustrated that at my church their wasn't any mention of creation during Holy Week, even though Christ redeems ALL of creation. So, taking a page from my mother's book, I decided that if you want something done, do it yourself. So, for the past three years I have donated the palm fronds to the church for Palm Sunday--eco-friendly palms that are sustainably raised and harvested using fair trade practices. I now have the church office calling me each spring to remind me!
