As a church we have pledged to do all we can to reduce our “carbon footprint” and promote greater awareness of environmental issues.
Church Eco
We pledge to:
1. Introduce regular “Green Top Tips” in newsletters and communications.
2. Through a recent environmental audit reduce the impact our building has on the environment.
3. Use low energy lighting and reduce emissions from our heating system.
4. Use local suppliers for church events to reduce transport costs and emissions.
5. Reduce water consumption.
6. Re-cycle all waste where ever possible.
A Rocha Eco Award
Our church has gained the Silver Award for it’s environmental credentials. But for the fact that the church building has absolutely no insulation we could have gained the gold award as we made really good progress in all other aspects of the award scheme. We review our progress annually to make sure we maintain our efforts to have as little detrimental impact on the environment as possible.

Church Eco News Autumn 2024 The news on the future of our beautiful planet is not good. Climate warming gasses are still on the increase and it now very unlikely that keeping global warming to a limit of 1.5 degrees can be achieved. The recent devastating floods in Spain were probably caused by the exceptionally warm waters of the Mediterranean. The warm air above them was able to hold great quantities of moisture, hence the extreme rainfall.More locally, All Stretton recently experienced unprecedented rain on the Long Mynd and the steams brought considerable quantities of stone down from the hillsides, blocking drains and culverts.The water backed up and roads and homes subsequently flooded. |
