Greener Church Group: Background

• 

• The Greener Church Group was formed after four church members heard a talk given at Dorridge Methodist Church in February 2009. The speaker worked for an international engineering consultancy and his role was improving the environmental performance of large buildings. The four were enthused and proposed to the Church that a green group be set up. After some preliminary work, the Group was created in 2010 with the following aims:

  • to give leadership, by example, to our local community, in particular to the many who use the premises;
  • continually to review, in co-operation with the Church’s Property Committee, how the Church’s own activities affect the natural environment and to see whether any adverse impact could be lessened;
  • share ideas about good environmental practice with our own church members.
