GrassRoutes is about grassroots faith groups taking eco-action together, on a route to a low-carbon future. Now a year and a half into the project, GrassRoutes Coordinator Maria Fernandes shares news of how our Eco-action projects are making a difference:
A warm welcome to everyone! I would like to congratulate you all on the inspirational journey you have been leading through your faith and care for the environment. Each of you—and your eco- actions—are making a meaningful impact across different sectors of society and communities throughout Birmingham.
We currently have two eco-actions projects that have been successfully completed, and ten more that are actively underway.
