The Spiritual Eco-Practice Group at Inspiration House provides an opportunity to deepen one’s own eco-practice, stay current with eco-news and find support with others who are endeavoring to live more lightly and lovingly on the Earth. This winter/spring we’ll pick one seven-day practice each month, explore it individually on our own timetable, and check in with each other via conference calls to share and appreciate one another’s insights and good works!

Thanks Hollister for sending along a great link recommending several good books for the new year. The website, Simple Organic – Green Living for Real Families, offers a list of 12 worthy books – a little something for everyone from tips for raising a baby in an eco-friendly way, to backyard gardening, to keeping a house clean with green cleansers, to theological musings on creation care. Be sure to check out “12 Green Living Books For Your 2012 Reading List.” … Another book on my list is from the National Council of Churches, God’s Earth is Sacred – Essays on Eco-Justice.
