This one room pioneer building was built around 1860 replacing log church built around 1840 for congregation which had met in Judge Prather's home on nearby Otter Creek from 1816. Church has lights and furnaces in ceiling, all original furnishings, has a labyrinth for reflection in adjacent cemetery. Has always had compost toilet. Turns breakers off between services since installation of new thermostat. Meets quarterly, third Sundays March, June, September, December, usually close to Spring and Fall Equinoxes and Winter and Summer Solstices. Circuit Riders served this congregation and it is still added to a two point charge in South Indiana Conference, Columbus District, Rush Branch Charge, near location of Friendly Persuasion movie setting. Large multitrunk hackberry has presided over entrance for many generations. 7 generations of same family buried in cemetery. This is sustainable Indiana. Contact Susan Heitzman heitzman@seidata.com

Thank you, Troy, for your willingness to sing for Ebenezer. It will be the small congregation that will be blessed by your gift of music. We are so pleased that you took the time to find out about this church. Blessings, The Heitzmans

This company is not sustainable and not community oriented. If it was it would at least offer the community it has invaded and taken from some of its own water in a sustainable way- through pipes and not the eco-unfriendly bottle.
It would not price its neighbors out of buying its product. This company takes millions of gallons of water out from underneath other people's property and sells it for private personal profit. It uses huge, noisy, carbon-dioxide spewing trucks to sell this water at pennies a gallon to Kroger, but asked community members $4 for a 750ml bottle and requires a 10 case minimum.
This company has taken a quiet, little farm-based community and turned it into an industrial trucking center with no regard for its neighbors. It has a "security" light on the back of it's building which, instead of shining down at the parking lot, shines out and blinds anyone who looks in its direction.
This company does not harvest water from the small spring that used to exist and feed the surrounding countryside. It has drilled down and made it unnatural and now pumps the water out. In all honesty it should be called Walnut Grove Drilled and Pumped Water. Don't believe D. Wayne Smith's clever P.R. It is green-washing.
This company is not community-friendly. It has several untruths on its website. This is a company who takes our community's precious water resource without compensation and ruins our quality of life. Please consider taking this off your "sustainbable" list.

Just a clarification: "chairlady111" is a member of this site, as is "ProgressiveGreene", not the moderator of the site. "SustIndy" is the moderator, and we actually took Walnut Grove Spring Water off our list after "ProgressiveGreene"'s original comments last November, mainly because we felt that we should not be promoting bottled water as being a sustainable practice.
This site was developed to recognize and promote organizations that are trying to incorporate sustainable practices into their operations. We welcome constructive discussion as to what constitutes sustainable practices on this site.

look to where delivery services are sourcing their offerings. I personally would rather buy sustainably grown food from LOCAL farmers than an certified organic item from out of state. To build food security in Indiana, we MUST support our own farmers (not corporate factory farms who can afford to be "certified").

I agree, it is better to support the little guy locally, even when they don't come with the "organic" tag. For example, the local apples I buy are not organic, but I find them to be much crisper and tastier than the long-distance organic ones. The very fact that they don't have to travel miles makes them more nutritious, and the carbon footprint is less, and I feel good supporting my local orchard. A win/win/win!

You can listen to a quick NPR interview <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=97418921">here</a>. Imagine how many people good eat good, whole food if American farm land was turned back over to fruit and vegetable production instead of paying farmers to grow commodities no one needs and destroying the excess.

I spent the summer clearing the yard at my new house of woody weeds and small trees, ground them up and began a large compost pile. I added organic kitchen waste, lawn clippings, and shredded leaves to the pile and fenced it in using 4"x4" posts, cross beams, and chicken wire. I laid down cardboard and leaves over areas where I want to plant in spring and I will be adding redworms to the compost pile in the next couple of weeks. I plan on turning a large portion of my yard over to fruit and vegetable growing.

Hey guys, my name is Jessie Wray and I am an intern with 1Sky, it is a national ally based group hosting a Day of Action on November 18th in Congressional Offices all around the state of Indiana! 1Sky has three main platforms, which are:
1. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25% below the 1990 levels by 2020, and 80% below the 1990 levels by 2050 based on IPCC calculations.
2. Create 5 million new green jobs to boost the economy and create energy independence for the U.S.A.
3. End development of new coal plants that emit tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
Here is the information on the Day of Action coming this Tuesday:
Day of Action: To send our elected officials a bold message on climate issues, we are coordinating visits to Congressional district offices across Indiana to deliver creative cards and visuals invoking the climate voter bloc and calling for leadership.
Option 1:
Meet at the ECO Center at 9:00am for a quick training. Everyone will travel to Baron Hill’s office together.
10:00 Meeting with Baron Hill in Bloomington
Option 2
8:00 car pool to Indianapolis (Tell us if you can drive! We will be sharing the cost of gas)
Meet at 9:15am in front of the State House on the lawn at the corner of Capitol and Washington for a quick training.
10:30 Delivery to Senator Lugar's office
11:30 Delivery to Senator Bayh's office
1:00pm Delivery to André Carson’s office
(early car back to Bloomington at 11:30 for those that can not stay)

This fall my wife and I plan to construct an 8'x16' greenhouse attached to the south side of our house. Not only should it provide a bedding site for plants, but the greenhouse will cover two windows of the house. With a brick floor and gravel beneath, plus water containers above, we're counting on some solar heat during the cold months. At this point we're looking at polycarbonate to use as the glazing. Any thoughts or suggestions from others with experience in this sort of thing?
