“And all the trees of the forest will sing for joy”
-Psalm 128:6
Mission Statement
The FirstEco Team of FUMC Dallas seeks to promote responsible use and management of God’s resources through increased knowledge and activity.
 We are trying to encourage FirstChurch members and visitors to stay downtown for lunch after worship. We believe this will conserve gasoline, support our mass transit system, and encourage downtown businesses. It’s all part of helping love and care for our planet.

Options for recycling E-waste:
1) City of Dallas Spring Recycling Roundup. Saturday April 24. See the PDF here. http://dallascityhall.com/pdf/Recycling_March2010.pdf
2) The city of Dallas will take your TVs and computers at the four Transfer stations. I am sure they'd take DVD players as well.

3) Best Buy does take most everything electronic you would want to recycle. However, they do not take computer hard drives or tube TVs. Here is a link to the page:
