LIVESIMPLY IN ST MARY’S AND BISHOP ETON
We aim to live more simply, sustainably and in solidarity with the poor.
5th June is World environment day. 8th is World Oceans Day. We all know how single use plastics are damaging our oceans. This week think of ways in which your family can reduce its plastic use. Maybe buy fruit and vegetables loose rather than packaged. Remember your shopping bag so you don’t need the carrier bags (even when shopping in town!) And families with babies – have you considered reusable nappies; they are nothing like the old terry nappies older parishioners might remember. If all else fails – Tesco recycles soft plastics (the stuff you can’t put in the council recycling bin). Let’s do what we can to protect our oceans!
