Churches could be encouraged to embrace eco-friendly practices
The Church of England’s parliament is set to vote next month on a motion urging its places of worship to ban floral foam and other non-biodegradable products in a bid for greater environmental sustainability.
The proposed change specifically targets floral foam, a material widely used in arrangements but containing microplastics and being non-recyclable.
This initiative forms part of a wider effort to make church practices more environmentally friendly.
