Church schools
The primary reason we are acting now to combat climate change, is to preserve the planet for generations to come. It is so important that we encourage our children to care for the environment now, as it is the future generations that will be impacted most severely by climate change.
As an individual
As individuals, we can take steps to reduce our own carbon footprints, and in turn, this will influence our wider circles, reducing their footprints too – causing a multiplier effect.
