We care about God’s creation and encourage everyone to make our school a greener place.
Pope Francis said that we should "care for our common home".
At Our Lady's our Eco Warriors take the lead on encouraging our school family to make environmentally friendly choices. We believe that everyone can play their part in caring for our Common Home.
'God loves and cares for all of creation' Matthew 6:25-34
Laudato Si'
Pope Francis' letter to all.
In this open letter, Pope Francis talks about the importance of looking after our environment and the impact humans have had on the Earth.
Taking small steps to make a BIG difference!
In school we have asked everyone - staff and children - to start making small changes that will help make our school a greener place to be and helping us to live out Pope Francis' message of caring for our common home.
Issues we identified in school:
The Eco-Warriors have chosen an area of our school grounds to 'protect', they have cordoned it off and have asked our grass cutters not to disturb it. By allowing the grass to grow, we reduce the risk of disturbing wildlife that may live there. We may also encourage wildlife to create their homes there.
We are working towards the CAFOD Live Simply Award!
The LiveSimply award is an opportunity for Catholic communities to answer the call for us to care for our common home and stand in solidarity with our sisters and brothers around the world.
