The Eco church group has had a break over the summer and will hope to meet with Rev Jo, to gain her thoughts on our eco work going forward. If you would like to get involved with the group, please get in touch with Catherine, Sally, Jen or Marilyn.
Eco tips
Outside
Contribute to wildlife conservation:
Clean bird feeders to prevent diseases spreading to winter migrants.
Install a nest box well before breeding season to provide a cosy retreat for small birds during cold winter nights.
Inside
Make sure you close your curtains when it gets dark to stop heat escaping.
Get draft proofing to stop losing heat. See www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/home-energy-efficiency/energy-saving-quick-wins
Make sure your hot water tank is insulated with a thick jacket. It will save lots of money and reduce your carbon emissions.
Check whether you can add more loft insulation? It’s one of the cheapest and easiest ways to save energy.
