"The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it"
Psalm 24 v 1
Our mission is to proclaim this truth and to enable our church fellowship, corporately and individually, to become good stewards of God's creation.

The aims of the SBC Green Team are:
To deepen our understanding of the biblical perspective on caring for creation as well as each other
To raise awareness within the church that the responsible stewardship of creation is an important part of Christian discipleship.
To find practical ways in which we can live more sustainably, as a congregation and as individual Christians in the world
To join with others in campaigning and working to safeguard all of God’s creation.

2026 Green Team Ideas
Please click here for some tech themed ideas.
1. When buying a new smartphone, consider a reconditioned one to reduce environmental impact.
2. Repairable, modular smartphones are now becoming available. Designed to have their batter easily replaced and using a high proportion of recycled materials, with materials ethically mined to look after workers. Brands include Fairfone and Nothing phone. These also have a higher commitment to guarding your data and privacy.
3. Declutter your digital life. Unsubscribe from emails and newsletters you don’t use. Everything held in cloud storage or sent to you electronically uses energy.
4. Take an interest in data centres. There are plans for many of these to come to Scotland in the near future. A 2025 report by Scottish countryside charities says the data centres currently in the planning process would double Scotland’s energy use! Find out more and if this concerns you, write to your MSP or join a local campaign.
