The Great Switch – renewable energy tariffs
A page of helpful guidance from the Church of England for churchwardens, treasurers and PPCs when considering switching to renewable energy tariffs. The Great Switch for Creation encourages and supports every church & church hall to switch to renewable energy, by choosing a green energy tariff as an act of faith, aligned with a heart for God’s mission.
Join the national movement across the Church of England – be part of the Great Switch. Pledge to take the Great Switch for Creation and a step towards reducing carbon emissions, leading to a cleaner, fairer future.
Why switch?
We are in a crisis: the global climate emergency is a crisis for all God’s creation – for people and for all of nature. We can act in faith to work towards the restoration of creation, through small but powerful acts.
Climate change is also unjust for those who have done the least to contribute to it and for future generations. Committing to renewable energy now is a step in solidarity toward justice.
You are the light of the world”
Matthew 5:14
What can we do?
As Christians we are called to care for God’s creation. It is a practical, faithful response to care for creation – both people and planet. It is a big challenge – your diocesan NZC Team are here to help.
It may be simple, but switching to a green tariff is a sacred act of care and leadership.
Below are the practical tools to help you take action today. By choosing an ethical green energy supplier, churches become beacons of hope for now and the future, and are supporting ethical energy companies that are working hard to reduce carbon emissions and address global climate injustice.
