17th March - neighbourhood clean-up


Two weeks ago one of the actions was Do a neighbourhood or garden clean-up. After noticing particularly the litter along the road yesterday, I decided to take a bag and pick some up. I filled the bag easily with a range of stuff - including some recyclable cans (6) and plastic bottles (3). The rest included a lamp shade and this bottle - which seems to be for display only.





Has anyone any idea what it is? The cap, which is not easily removable, is marked ‘Caution: not to ingest, warranty void if opened’ this is repeated in French and German. I was pleased to recycle the cans and bottles; the rest is for landfill: sorry about the Elizabeth Wintgens plastic bag but at least it shows we shop locally.

David I think that bottle is a homemade lava lamp? What do you think? Well done on the litter pick - Wendy and I occasionally do that in Little Kingshill. Though it's pretty dangerous as the hedgerows are strewn with litter and cars whizz past at 60mph.

.....It's getting very lonely here - come on you Carbonfasters, come and join in.....

Anyway -
DAY 21 – TUESDAY 17 MARCH:
Today's action:
Could our church be greener? Well we're certainly getting there and we have a very enthusiastic team moving the church and the congregation to thinking about reducing their carbon footprint.We are constantly discussing
what our church could do to cut its footprint and we give thanks for
churches that are already seeking to tackle climate change. We pray
for more churches to recognise the need for urgent action on climate change and that the global church will speak out more strongly about the issue. After all we are stewards of the world we live in and on a day like today, makes me want to preserve and look after it even more.
