More Joy, Less Carbon
More Joy, Less Carbon

On Aug 29th 2021 Quakers from Jesus Lane, St Neots and Peterborough met pilgrims from Great Yarmouth at Kings Lynn where they took part in an interfaith ceremony and received written messages and sea water from the beach at Great Yarmouth in a plastic bottle found on the beach - representing the pollution of our seas, and also the rise in sea-level, which is already taking place.
Over the following days a relay of EarthQuakers from Cambridgeshire carried the messages and the water on their bikes from King's Lynn, via Peterborough and Oakham, to Nottingham where they passed them on to pilgrims taking part in the COP26 Pilgimage to Glasgow.
