Eco Church
Our Eco Church group is aiming to raise the profile of climate change and sustainability issues within our church congregations and the wider community.
The congregation of Thaxted Parish Church was delighted to be awarded the Eco Church Bronze Award on February 3rd, 2024. This reflects the many ways in which many members of the congregation have changed how things are done at the church to be more environmentally-friendly, since the Eco Church group was started in 2019. These vary from the catering, flower arranging, churchyard management and energy use reduction to “Ringing out for Climate” events with our “Tree of Hope,” engaging with our wider community in support of personal lifestyle changes and worldwide issues.
Coming up soon, the Eco Church Group will be exhibiting at the Mission:No FossilFuel Open Day in Thaxted Parish Church on April 6th,
showing how our recent Insulation and LED Lighting Project in the church has resulted in significant energy savings at very low cost, using simple methods which can be used in any home.
