The Church of Scotland General Assembly is to hear plans challenging all individual Church members to make significant lifestyle changes to reduce their use of energy and their consumption of the Earth's resources.
The Kirk's Church & Society Council will unveil its paper "Energy for a Changing Climate", which warns that major changes need to be made in order to avert the worst consequences of climate change and urges churches to become like Westray Church in Orkney, which is now completely self-sufficient in renewable energy.
The paper highlights the need for urgent action on the government, community and individual level and encourages people to buy environmentally friendly products, choose green energy suppliers and lobby Government on environmental issues.
