Tonight Laura shares fun and helpful Christmas tips on how to reduce our environmental impact and help support our global neighbours.
We’ll think about how we can buy better, live better and have an all-round sustainable Christmas. We know that things like plastics and the way we consume are impacting people in poverty the most. The work Tearfund does in over 50 countries around the world tells a story of how people are impacted by the way that we live our lives here.
Join Less Waste Laura for ethical Christmas tips and cut your carbon footprint this Christmas.

Criticism for UK Aid cut
Leading Christian international development charities have condemned UK Government plans to cut overseas aid from the pledged 0.7% of Gross National Income.
Christian Aid Scotland head and Eco-Congregation Scotland trustee Sally Foster-Fulton joined Rev Susan Brown, Church of Scotland Faith Impact Forum convener, in “Life and Work” to criticise the announcement by Chancellor Rishi Sunak.
Hundreds of churches across the country are supporting Christian Aid this first Sunday of Advent, singing or sharing ‘When Out of Poverty is Born‘, with collective worship in hope and solidarity for the world’s poorest.
SCIAF (Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund) urges us to take action now, contacting our MPs and tweeting messages for the Prime Minister, Chancellor and Foreign Secretary.
Tearfund Scotland said the cut “couldn’t have come at a worse time for people living in poverty”, asking us to please pray for vulnerable communities pushed to the brink of survival every day.
Please support our aid charities – and key partners of Eco-Congregation Scotland – in campaigning and praying for this vital support to continue, maintaining our global connections to address climate justice.
