Eco Church Update – October 2020

Eco tips for things to do:
  1. Watch the Eco Church Harvest service for an update on all we have been up to including improving the biodiversity of animals and flowers at 2 of our churches
  2. We depend on soil for survival. By choosing food, health, beauty and textile products that have the ‘Soil Association’ organic symbol wherever possible you can help save our soil and improve our food quality
  3. Choose Fairtrade! With simple shopping choices you can get farmers across the world a better deal. Most supermarkets sell Fairtrade products at affordable prices. Don’t just think coffee and chocolate – look out for Fairtrade cotton and flowers as well. POTR has its own Fairtrade ambassador, Jo McGregor (jo@mcgregorfamily.org.uk) who in the absence of being able to hold monthly sales after church services, has Traidcraft catalogues or will deliver anything ordered online at Traidcraft
