The Church in Wales has just launched 'The Parish Green Guide - Caring for God's Creatino' which includes a very simple and helpful checklist which can be used by any parish. The text is (I think!) downloadable from the Church in Wales website. Locally we've taken material Welsh schools use for the children to conduct a green audit of their schools, and adapted it to the form of a simple audit which Key stages 1/2 can use on a visit to their local church - results can be presented to PCCs!<br />It's not rocket science! As you suggest it just needs getting on with! <br />Adrian (member of St Asaph Diocese Eco-Group).adriancoppingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132206171945839649.post-70703366548792120842009-06-12T20:40:42.937+01:002009-06-12T20:40:42.937+01:00Music to my ears.

We are the largest of the 'little 8' companies and have the best record of all companies (ie the 'little 8 and the 'big 6') for customer service. We also have the lowest number of customers who move away from us across all companies.<br /><br />Our remit is to help those in fuel poverty and in particular those on pre-payment meters, often those on the lowest incomes. We are also very concerned about climate change; at Greenbelt 2008 we launched our "Fuel Poverty Challenge' when we challenged people to reduce their fuel consumption by 10%.<br /><br />We are all committed Christians and it has been exciting to see that it is possible to run a commercially viable company without compromising our Christian faith. We have been in business for slightly over 10 years.<br /><br />To find out more telephone 0800 458 7689 or visit www.ebico.co.uk<br /><br />Our Chairman is a well known consultant to the international coal industry as well as being a parish priest.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16851769756589385754noreply@blogger.com
