Eco-Church

Graham and Nick have had a conversation. To acheive Bronze for "Lifestyle" we have the following options:

☀ Sunday School produce a Communal Christmas Card

☀ We encourage church members to share what they do to protect the environment at a particular season of the year (e.g. Lent) instead of the sermon

☀ Have an annual survey - "How do you come to church?" inviting people to say: walking; public transport; driving; or getting a lift in a car.

☀ Put a link on the website, about the time we do the church Carbon Neutral Audit, inviting people to do an audit of their lifestyle for (a) environmental friendliness; (b) carbon usage. Gina proposes Climate Hero

☀ Encourage church members to share home-cooked recipes.

Purchase of arm chairs for the church
