compostable and recyclable products - Canticle News

The St. Francis of Assisi community has made a major change toward sustainable practices. Sunday morning Coffee and Donuts launched the program by eliminating all Styrofoam coffee cups and replacing them with compostable cups. Additionally, juice cups that were previously disposed of as trash are now being recycled. Adding emphasis to the effort, the 60th Anniversary Committee's celebration for St. Francis School featured compostable coffee, beverage and wine cups along with compostable plates. The most challenging part of this change was becoming accustomed to the new receptacles and knowing where to place the empty cups. All St. Francis ministries are pursuing the change to compostable and recyclable products wherever possible. Congratulations to everyone at St. Francis for joining in the effort to care for God's creation through the use of compostable and recyclable products!
