August Ecotip with thanks to Tearfund  - While some of our regular calendar events might be on pause, this summer could be a great opportunity to take a step back and look at which areas of your lifestyle you could adapt to live more sustainably: Shop local.

• Local shops and restaurants often source their goods and produce locally, helping to reduce the miles they’ve travelled and therefore their carbon footprint. By staying local it’s also easier to walk or cycle to get there, reducing the air pollution of your journey.  
  
  
• Remember your reusables! Whether a day trip or a full staycation, remember to take your own bottles, cups and cutlery to reduce disposable plastic usage. It always helps to plan ahead – is there anything you can bring along to avoid having to purchase while out? 
  
  
• Do a ‘waste audit' at home. Go through different rooms and note down the products you use. Could you find any lower-waste alternatives for them? Or take the time to go through your waste as a family, record what items you throw out or recycle the most, and then research what lower-waste options you could replace them with. If there’s a few of you in your household, why not turn it into a summer challenge for who can reduce their waste the most?  

 

Prayer Space In the prayer area at the back of church there are cards for you to leave a; Testimony, Things to Pray for, as well as words for us as a Church.  The Staff team will then take time to pray during for them during the week.  Please place completed cards in the offertory box or give to a member of the clergy.
