 URC Mission Council has passed a resolution to urge churches to reduce their use of single use plastics. While there are occasions during this pandemic when it is impossible to avoid the use of single-use plastic items, their use should be kept to an absolute minimum. They should also be carefully disposed of in a way that minimises their impact on the environment. See a URC guide to help you avoid single use plastics. Download it here (pdf)
