One of the things we would like to do on the website here is share stories regularly around the topics of consumerism, economics, and the shift towards a fair and sustainable economy. It’s part of our role in ‘reading the times’ and looking for signs of change.
We’d love you to take part. If there’s a story or article that has inspired you, email jeremywilliams@greenchristian.org.uk or tweet us at @JoyInEnough.
