4/ LIVE SIMPLY Tip of the Week Introducing more plant-based meals into your diet is one of the best ways to cut your carbon footprint, and it’s often a healthier choice too. Why not add some meat-free alternatives to the dinner table this summer? Lots of supermarkets now offer great meat-free BBQ options, so why not try some plant-based alternatives on the grill over the holidays – or try eating meat-free one day a week or opting for a vegetarian option whilst eating out. Whatever you get up to this summer, remember your actions and everyday choices make a difference – and influence those around you to take action too. This goes hand-in-hand with calling on leaders to act. Together, we can build a greener, fairer world that will help people in poverty who are hardest hit by the climate crisis.
5/ Refugee Week 16th to 22nd June On Wed 18th June there will be Vigil for Refugees after the 10am Mass at Holy Family. We are going to spend time together reflecting on the plight of the refugee.
