What is Eco Church?
Eco Church is an award scheme and tool to help churches address environmental issues in all that they do – in spiritual, practical and mission areas. There are three stages to taking part:
- Carry out a “Church Check-up” to celebrate good practice which is already happening, highlight areas for improvement and work out a plan of action.
- Implement the plan of action. Resources are available from Eco Church to help with this.
- If successful in the above, get the award!
What have we done so far in Holy Trinity?
In Holy Trinity the Eco Church group have carried out the Church Check-up, which has revealed that we are already doing a lot to address environmental issues in many areas of the church’s life.
Some of these are shown on the diagram below – this is far from comprehensive but gives a flavour of the sort of things that are going on. Many of them will be familiar but you probably don’t know about all of them – we didn’t!
