Asbury Theological Seminary receives Certificate of Environmental Accomplishment

This May, Asbury Theological Seminary received a Certificate of Environmental Accomplishment in celebration of its commitment to steward natural resources well. Besides its other green practices, just through working with Shred-It shredding and recycling Asbury Seminary protected 223 trees from destruction in 2009.

Recently, Asbury Seminary also hosted the Hope for Creation simulcast in partnership with the nonprofit organization Blessed Earth, which “explored the biblical vision for the care of the planet.”

The new family housing construction project located on the Kentucky campus incorporates green practices as well, with geothermal heating and air conditioning, repurposing of rock removed from the building site, and plans for more efficient insulation.
