Hi everyone, Chiara here for my final eco blog. I hope that over this time you have enjoyed the blogs and see the small changes that can make a difference to our planet. I know I have been inspired by the different stories I have read.
This Thursday is World Earth Day so perhaps choose that day to make one fundamental change to your lifestyle for the good of creation. I am choosing some vegan days as well as vegetarian in the week. I have also stopped buying magazines with plastic add ons which add to waste. What will yours be?
To celebrate World Earth day Eco church are running a poster competition open to everyone under 16. The theme of the poster is “Care for our Common Home” and the closing date is May 21st a fortnight before World Environment Day on June 5th. The best entri
es will be displayed on the eco church board with prizes for the top three entries.
A date for the diary: on Sunday 9th May Flitwick church will have their first service for Climate Sunday. The 9 o’clock and 10.30 services will be on the theme of Climate justice and care of our common home. Climate Sunday has been organised by Churches Together in Britain and Ireland (CTBI) with support from charities including CAFOD, Christian Aid, Tearfund, A Rocha UK, and Operation Noah.
The national Climate Sunday event takes place on Sunday 5th September 2021, to share church commitments and pray for bold action and courageous leadership. Churches throughout the UK and Ireland have been invited to hold a service themselves before that date.
May is bike to work month so perhaps this is something you would like to try or even bike to church or school. We can’t all cycle so why not walk if you can or give public transport a go. We can all play our part in making the world a greener place for everyone.
It has been brilliant to share these blogs over the last 3 months…doesn’t time fly!
Until we meet again keep safe and keep caring for our world for this generation and the next. Every bit of creation is a gift from God and we are asked to look after it…let’s hope we will!
Best wishes

The shavasana procedure is simple yet deeply effective when practiced with awareness. To begin, lie flat on your back on a comfortable yoga mat. Keep your legs slightly apart and allow your feet to fall naturally outward. Place your arms beside your body with palms facing upward and fingers gently relaxed. Close your eyes and bring your attention to your natural breath. The shavasana procedure focuses on consciously relaxing each part of the body, starting from the toes and moving upward to the head. Release any tension in the muscles and let your mind become calm and steady. Stay in this position for 5–10 minutes, breathing slowly and deeply. To finish, gently move your fingers and toes, turn to one side,…

This is a thoughtful and timely reflection on World Earth Day, and I appreciate how it connects faith, stewardship, and practical environmental responsibility in such an accessible way. Too often, conversations about sustainability feel abstract or policy-heavy, but grounding them in community action and personal accountability makes the message far more impactful. Highlighting Earth Day as more than a symbolic date — instead framing it as a call to ongoing care for creation — gives the post lasting relevance beyond a single annual observance. The emphasis on small, intentional changes reinforces that collective transformation begins with individual habits, whether that’s reducing waste, conserving energy, or supporting local initiatives. Environmental stewardship, much like any meaningful commitment, requires consistency and shared…
