The Ecological Forum of Christ Church commenced its activities
in 2008. The Forum assists the Church in planning and executing
ecology and environment-related programmes through the members
and their families. It proposes to upgrade the awareness of
members of the Church in environment protection and build the
competence to foster ‘Ecologically Sensitive Spirituality’. The
Forum discourages use of plastic disposables in all the
functions of the Church and the households of its members. The
efforts of the Forum have been successful in putting in place a
good waste management system in the compound of the Church.
A seminar on Food Security had been arranged where experts
lectured on food security and bio-diversity. 150 eco kits
consisting of saplings, coir-pith compost and wormy compost were
distributed among the members of the Church. A large
tree-planting programme for the parish was inaugurated in which
each household of the parish had been requested to plant one
sapling during 2009-10. Eight tree saplings have been planted in
the Church compound.
The Ecological Forum proposes to identify the biodiversity in
the compound and label all the trees. It also encourages the
members of the Church to resort to organic farming to grow
vegetables in their homesteads. The Ecological Forum undertakes
cleaning of the premises of the Church on 2nd October. The
programme envisages dusting and cleaning the furniture,
windowpanes, chandeliers and mopping the floors of the Church,
along with sweeping and cleaning the compound. |
