A volunteer committee at the church called “Justice for Creation” held twelve special events and projects, including: a Creation Fair (attended by 900 parishioners); junk mail campaign; alternative gift-wrapping event; reusable shopping bag distribution to low-income families; weekly tips published in the church bulletin; monthly table displays; a waste reduction webpage; Earth Day celebration; and family nights. In addition, Prince of Peace educated the community about their waste reduction projects at the Living Green Expo and has educated other congregations. Through all of their outreach and events, waste messages have been disseminated to their over 10,000 members and community members and 2,142 waste reduction actions have been taken.
