St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church engaged church members and members of the surrounding community with information on waste reduction through performances, exhibits, forums, a green gifts fair, and educational workshops. Monthly workshop attendees included both church members and residents of the surrounding community for a total of 1,160 people. 59 households went online and pledged to reduce waste. These families were given a cloth bag and a non-toxic cleaner. Youth and adults were trained to conduct household waste audits to assist people in identifying waste reduction opportunities particular to their home and lifestyle.
