Great Big Green Week (10th to 18th June 2023) is a celebration of community action to tackle climate change and protect nature. Nationally it is run by the Climate Coalition, a wide network which includes Tear Fund, Christian Aid and the Salvation Army. Groups around West Devon will be taking part, so it is a chance for churches to encourage prayer and action for God's earth, and benefit from local and national publicity for the week. (It also fits within the international / ecumenical Season of Creation which signposts prayer ideas.) 

Taking part could be as simple as listing a harvest festival on the Great Big Green Week website if it falls in the week, or a fellowship group talking about ways to reduce waste. 

 

Or it could be a special event such as a prayer walk, film or speaker. 

Study groups could perhaps try eg the Bible Reading Fellowship's "A Christian Guide to Environmental Issues" , Ruth Valerio's "Saying Yes to Life".
