The Bishop of London on the environment

In a recent Guardian interview the Bishop of London, the Right Rev and Right Hon Richard Chartres, discusses his active stance on issues such as climate change. The bishop pledged not to fly for a year after criticism that he was not practising what he preached because he was taking flights for "diocese work" as well as retaining a chauffeur-driven car.

In the article I spotted a reference to a book, How many lightbulbs does it take to change a Christian? by Claire Foster & David Shreeve. The blurb says that it "provides hundreds of practical ideas for making SMALL changes to your lifestyle that can make a BIG difference to the environment" and suggests "actions that will reduce your ecological footprint, from turning off the tap, to starting a church compost heap".
