Convert Your Car to Run on Trash


This car actually does run on trash through a process called “gasification”. If you want instructions on how to build it and a video showing it in actual operation, click here.

But the point is to get you thinking about stewardship of the environment. We often talk about the three “T’s” of Time, Talent, and Treasure, but there is also the stewardship of Trash.

Think of some projects your congregation could adopt to promote stewardship of the environment…

  • “Adopt a Highway” clean up project
  • Conduct an energy audit of your church building
  • Begin a recycling program
  • Plant a church garden
  • Conduct an audit of hazardous materials
  • Host a speaker from local government or 4H
  • Plant a tree
  • Convert the pastor’s car to run on trash ???

Can you think of others? Make this part of your year round stewardship planning.
