Questions

Some questions for reflection and discussion:

  • How are we saving energy and recycling waste?
  • Have we thought of working to become an ‘ecocongregation’?
  • How can we overcome the sense that this is all too much to take in and too much to do anything about?
  • Can we help each other face up to the new questions climate change is facing us with?
  • What is our church doing to support sustainable development in less advantaged parts of the world?
  • What effect will climate change have on Norfolk and Waveney - and on our own grandchildren?

    • Updates

    The Government has now introduced its Climate Change Bill. This Bill will create a new framework for tackling climate change, which is to be welcomed.
