ECO CONGREGATION
Netherlee Parish Church was officially registered as an Eco-congregation – the first church in East Renfrewshire to win such an award. Our coordinator Sheena Wurthman spearheaded the campaign, arranging many green activities, along with an independent audit to show us how well we were doing – and where we could still do better.

​
As a congregation we take our environmental responsibilities seriously.
​
We heat our church using modern, efficient gas boilers.
Our buildings are zoned and only areas which are occupied are heated.
Many of our radiators are thermostatically controlled.
Most of the lights in our buildings are fitted with LED bulbs which minimises
electrical power consumption.
Recycling bins are located throughout the church premises and we actively
seek to minimise waste and promote recycling.
Our church grounds have "soft landscaping" which minimises the volume
of rainwater we discharge into the sewer and drainage system.
