The Creation, Justice and Peace group have created some new resources with practical guidance on choices we make as we aim to live in balance with Creation, Justice and Peace.
The themes cover the cost of fashion, the problem with plastics and our food choices, with ideas such as:
- Stop using single-use plastics. (Plastic items like drinking straws, disposable plates, and cutlery, can be replaced by alternatives.)
- Buy more food in bulk. (Many stores sell some foods in bulk, making it possible to avoid disposable plastic packaging.)
- Encourage restaurants and caterers to donate leftovers, when possible, to food banks.
- Replace red meat with white meat (the carbon footprint for beef is five times higher than for chicken).
- Wear clothes longer. (Wearing clothes just a few months longer before replacing them reduces their environmental impact.)
- Air dry clothes on a line. (Using a clothes dryer adds significantly to one’s carbon footprint.)
