ReNew VBS: It's Here (and it's recycled!)

Our first ReNew: The Green VBS Starter Kit arrived at sparkhouse last week. After months of working on this resource, it was exciting to actually touch all the pieces and know they're made out of recycled or biodegradable materials.

Some sneak peeks:

ReNew Program Guide Binder -- Contents are printed on 100% post consumer waste recycled paper using UV ink and are recyclable.

To reduce packaging, the ReNew Music CD and ReNew Program DVD fit in the front pocket of the binder.






ReNew Kid Pack -- All ReNew Bible Books are printed on 100% post consumer waste recycled paper using soy ink and are recyclable.

The ReNew Seed Starter is molded out of reground plastic, the ReNew Planting Pack seeds (not pictured) are packaged in recycled paper and printed using soy inks. And the ReNew Work Belt is made out of a biodegradable material and printed using water based ink.


ReNew Banner -- Manufactured using 60% recycled paper, 30% sawdust, and 10% polyester and printed using soy ink. It's also durable...and biodegradable!








We've been given an opportunity and responsibility to care for God's creation. It's not always easy, but even small steps can lead in the right direction. One way we did this with ReNew was to challenge our manufacturers to use environmentally-responsible materials.

What are some ways--big or small--that your faith community is caring for creation?
