 WHO ARE WE?
We are a group of people who are looking at ways in which we can reduce our carbon footprint as a church and promote reductions at home. This is part of a wider initiative across churches called "Shrinking the Footprint" which encourages us as Christians to:
- take responsibility for our ecological footprint
- consider our duty in caring for our planet.
“The heavens are the heavens of the Lord, but the earth he has entrusted to his children”
The Book of Psalms
