As a church we have pledged to do all we can to reduce our "carbon footprint" and promote greater awareness of environmental issues. We pledge to: 1. Introduce regular "Green Top Tips" in newsletters and communications. 2. Through a recent environmental audit reduce the impact on the environment our building has. 3. Use low energy lighting and reduce emissions from our heating system. 4. Use local suppliers for church events to reduce transport costs and emissions. 5. Reduce water consumption. 6. Re-cycle all waste where ever possible. ******************************************************************** This months Green Top Tip. 27% of this countries carbon footprint comes from domestic emissions. Have you had a free home energy audit from Stretton Climate Care to help you discover ways to reduce your emissions and save money? Here in Church Stretton the Town Council have joined the 10:10 pledge scheme to try and reduce their carbon emissions by 10% by the end of 2010. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HELP REDUCE CLIMATE CHANGE? Don't just talk about reducing, do something about it this month. As Christians we have a religious and moral responsibility to take real action.
