| Also on the theme of transport we are keen to encourage cycling. We have therefore fitted rack near the entrance to the church. |
 |
| As educating people on reduction of carbon is one of our aims we
intoduced into the church library a number of "green" books. We aim to
have at least one on display each week. |
 |
| The Church runs a group for people from overseas. In partnership
with CSV Environmental we have had visits to places of environmental
significance such as Cannock Chase and Sutton Park. This is to
introduce them to our natural environment. |
 |
| The congregation includes many allotment holders and gardeners.
We encourage people to grow their own food and once a year arrange a
gardeners market. This is well supported not only by the church but
also by our local neighbourhood. |
 |
| In the main entrance to the Church we have what we call the
"Green Machine". This is a collection point for recyling about 14
items. These are items not collected by the Council but things that a
usueful to other people. |
 |
Examples of the things we collect are:
- Spectacles
- Knitting wool
- Pill boxes
- Egg boxes
- Foreign coins
- stamps Candles
|
 
  |
| Items often go to charities. We have collected nearly 2500 pairs
of spectacles. After being sorted by prisoners in this country they are
given to Sight Savers International who distribute them in countries in
need. |
|
| We have produced a leaflet showing all the items we recycle. We
revise it from time to time but you are welcome to download it and
modify it to suit local circumstances. |
