Concern for the Environment
Will there be a future if we continue to neglect the Environment ?
A small group of us have decided that we would like to follow Ashton Hayes's example of seeking to actively respond to global warming through local SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time) action. We are looking for others who might be thinking on similar lines and wonder whether you would like to commit to joining the bandwagon.

When we threaten the balance of things, we don't just put our material survival at risk; more profoundly, we put our spiritual sensitivity at risk, the possibility of being opened up to endless wonder by the world around us." Archbishop Rowan Williams - Christmas 2007
