If you sign up for the Nun Run 5K, you will be the proud recipient of a Nun Run t-shirt, a savory pancake breakfast, great company and a goodie bag with impressive coupons; but did you know you’ll also be doing something good for the planet?
Since the sisters are very concerned with caring for the earth, all participants will get a Virtual Event Bag instead of a regular goodie bag. Instead of filling a goodie bag with paper coupons and booklets- which costs a few trees – everything can be retrieved on your preferred electronic device. Isn’t that so cool? If you use your iPhone or iPad to retrieve your coupons, just take your device to the store to get your items. No printing of the coupons – it’s all paperless! This is awesome!!!
Many sisters are making gigantic steps in reducing their carbon footprints on this wondrous earth of ours. They do this by using fewer plastic water bottles, bringing reusable shopping bags to the store, taking shorter showers, washing full loads, recycling and reusing as much as possible. What are you doing to make a small difference? Do you have a household plan and appropriate containers for sorting your trash? Do you know where to take old batteries, electronics, medicine, light bulbs and other hazardous waste?
As committed folks who want the best future for our children and grandchildren, we need to continually educate ourselves about better ways to use the resources and energies of the earth. Go to your city’s website to be informed about their environmental programs and events. You will learn much to share with your family, friends and neighbors. And don’t forget to sign up for the Nun Run!
Gratefully,
Sister Betty Mae Bienlein
Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation Coordinator for the California Province
