As we step into September and embrace the season of Creation-tide and Harvest, it’s a wonderful opportunity to re-think our responsibilities as stewards of God’s glorious creation.
The daily choices we make about food and water together have a profound impact on global ecosystems, local communities and vulnerable habitats.
Here are a few practical tips
- Be even more mindful about eating seasonally and locally
- Embrace plant-rich meals in a new and creative way
- Think hard about how you can further reduce food waste-eg freeze with foresight
- Conserve water in the kitchen and garden eg. install water-saving aerators on kitchen taps, capture rainwater with a water butt for use in the garden
- Rethink how many ethical and Fairtrade products you buy
