We’re over the moon to share we’ve received the Silver Eco Church Award from @ARochaUK in recognition of our efforts to care for God’s earth. It has been an incredibly exciting year for our eco work, but it's far from over. Now we’re going for gold! https://t.co/IpUbAiSzkO

A couple of weeks ago, Carly from @CityofTreesMcr spoke at our land webinar. Today, a group of us went to support one of their tree planting days in Bolton

A great way to engage churches in community tree planting, see if they have an event near you- https://t.co/g8iiVXCxzr

The acknowledgement of just how missional eco work is!

[Diocese of Manchester Eco-Diocese @ManDioEco]

This is so brilliant to read, thank you @LINSGREATERMAN1. Working together in many ways is the best way to ensure sustainable eco action 💚

[LinsGreaterManchester @LINSGREATERMAN1]

@ManDioEco Talking about Missions, we’ve found working with Eco groups to be absolutely brilliant…..the tree is such a wealth of diverse activity stemming from green hubs and they are so accessible to such diverse groups and the community 🩵 So much shared interest 🌿

"Climate change, biodiversity loss and resource depletion are not isolated problems — they are part of an interconnected web of crises that demand urgent and comprehensive action."

Quite a fact, here!

Is it possible for churches to set up collection points for cables, that can then be taken to the local recycling centre or tip?

[Quite Interesting @qikipedia]

Britons are hoarding enough unused wires in their ‘drawers of doom’ to provide 30% of the copper required to decarbonise the UK grid by 2030.

Today (20 Oct) 's Radio 4 Sunday Worship - was "Care for Creation" from Llandaf Cathedral. - Is your church doing "Eco-Church?" - encourage your congregation to listen to this. - https://t.co/HWaLgAoXSb
