Action on Climate Change

Doing our bit…

It is an unavoidable fact that a church as a physical building consumes energy. Measures have been taken at St Thomas Becket Anglican Church to reduce the energy consumption. In 2002 all the incandescent electric light bulbs were replaced by compact fluorescent light bulbs (popularly known as energy saving light bulbs) which has cut the energy consumption for lighting by about half.

In 2007 the building has had additional insulation and secondary glazing added. And since 2007, the electricity has been supplied by the renewable energy provider, Lichtblick.

Small steps, but every bit counts.
