At last night's meeting we heard that Reading Springboard's generous £1,000 donation to Solar Schools has now been received by the schools and appears on their websites.Exciting green news from local churches includes:
Trinity's plans to host the True Food Co-op in the near future (depending on getting enough volunteers to help run this) and to start reducing their energy use through loft insulation.
St John Bosco's application for the Live Simply Award and their newly installed solar panels (pictured above being blessed).
Whitley Community Church's progress on an organic gardening and aquaponics scheme with unemployed young people.
Caversham Heights Methodist Church have recently been awarded their second EcoCongregation award.
Martin and Rachel reported that their planned meeting with Alok Sharma for the Stop Climate Chaos campaign has been postponed until 26th July.
Joanna reported that the next Earthing Faith gathering will be on green theology and will be held in Buckinghamshire. Also she did not stand for re-election to the Reading Climate Change Partnership and Tim was able to report that someone from Transition Towns will now be filling the role of voluntary sector rep.
