ECO ERIC TIPS FOR DECEMBER
|
|
Friday, 5th December is World Soil Day. This year the emphasis is on taking care of urban soils which is something we can all engage with whether we live in the town or the countryside. Soil is an essential resource we can help to look after at all sorts of levels. For example by having a compost heap to recycle plant waste and improve to our own garden soils, and keeping them permeable and vegetated to absorb rainwater and reduce risks of flooding and runoff from hard surfaces. We can also engage with the planning system to prevent loss of green spaces or loss of good quality agricultural land to development.

With all the charity appeals in the run up to Christmas do you feel you would like to give more but can’t afford it? “The Big Give Christmas Challenge”, open until noon on 9th December, allows your donation to be doubled at no extra cost to you, meaning it can have twice the impact! You can choose from a wide range of charities but you could consider the international Christian environmental charity “Arocha” which is raising money to mobilise and equip young people to care for the planet and understand the connection between creation care and the Christian faith. For more details on “The Big Give Christmas Challenge” see https://donate.biggive.org |
