Environmental awareness and eco-church in our benefice

Are you like me, concerned about climate change and our environment? Are you concerned for the future of our children and grandchildren if climate change continues. St. George’s Church Ruishton and St. Michaels Church Creech St. Michael have registered alongside many other churches and Christian organisations in our diocese and the nation for Eco church which is a tool to help us reduce our carbon footprint and improve our environmental sustainability - both as a church and as individuals within our community. We are planning several days through 2024 when we will particularly focus on this subject, both in our church worship and with events.

In addition, we would like to offer an eco-tip each month in our benefice magazine for you to consider.

Eco-tip for January

Thank God for the world we live in.

As a starting point calculate your own carbon footprint. This is easy to do online. Search climatestewards.org/carbon calculator or WWF Footprint Calculator. Once you know your own or your family’s carbon footprint and the main contributors to it, you may then consider if there are steps you can take to reduce it over the next year.

You can also choose to offset where you can’t reduce, and this is easy to do through Climate Stewards or other organisations.

Remember the more people taking action to protect the environment the more our politicians and those in power will take notice and exert pressure on the big petrochemical industries and others.
