Event Description:

Christian people are called to care for God’s creation and we need to take action now as the planet is under threat from climate change and pollution. But what can we do? At this exciting event find out how to be part of the solution, not part of the problem. Activities for all ages, but children must come with an adult. Come when you can; leave when you must!

The event includes:

  • Displays, including Christian Aid (climate change); Tearfund (rubbish campaign); Farlington Parish Eco Church initiative; World Vision; CreatureKind, and more.
  • Workshops (4.45-6pm) for all ages

- Choices for children include:

  • junk modelling;
  • icing animal biscuits;
  • learning a “One World” song to perform (school-age children only).

- Choices for adults and teens include:

  • how to make eco-bricks from plastic bottles and soft plastic wrapping;
  • knitting with sustainable yarn;
  • up-cycling (photo frames);
  • making re-usable beeswax wraps for food, and reusable household wipes;
  • how to live with less plastic (seminar-style session).
