At St Michael’s we are working towards the Eco Church Bronze Award. (And then, hopefully, silver and gold!). Eco Church is all about the care of the church for God’s Earth, and we can all be involved, both at church and at home.

It also has lots of useful links to help you to find out about other resources you can use. - For all you drivers, 11 ways to reduce your emissions: https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/advice/emissions/11-ways-to-reduce-your-car-emissions/
