The way we live today affects communities across the globe and generations to come. Climate change reminds us that loving our neighbour includes those most impacted by environmental harm, near and far. We must act now to safeguard the integrity of creation and renew the life of the earth.Lots of churches have completed Eco Church awards and these have been really good ways of engaging with the creation we are called to care for. For more information about the awards scheme go to : https://ecochurch.arocha.org.ukThe Church in Wales also have an energy footprint tool. Churches are encouraged to measure their carbon footprint with the online calculator. This is a quick and easy way for churches to find out their carbon emissions. People will be able to input data from their annual utility bills for last year and the tool will instantly calculate the carbon footprint of their church. Knowing how much carbon a church generates each year can help them plan actions to enhance energy efficiency, compare results with previous years to assess their progress, and allow them to, once identified, offset their carbon emissions.
