Welcome to Living Lightly

We believe that God loves this world and has given each one of us the privilege of looking after it. To do so involves every area of our lives, from our own day-to-day choices, through to campaigning and what happens in our churches and workplaces.

Living Lightly is an A Rocha UK initiative that is here to encourage and motivate you to make practical changes in all these areas through giving you ideas of things you can do, further information on key issues, links to useful websites and resources, and an on-line community that you can share your thoughts and questions with.

So please take some time to look around and be inspired to see what you can do to live lightly in this amazing world.
