Scottish churches 'going green'

Climate change, reducing your carbon footprint, energy efficiency and fair trade are all big global issues at the moment.

But it is not only individuals and businesses which are looking to be more environmentally friendly - many Scottish churches are also going green.

Almost 200 have become eco-congregations, which means they encourage parishioners to reduce, reuse and recycle, but also try to make sure their church buildings and grounds are as environmentally responsible as possible.

One such eco-congregation is the Old and Abbey Parish Church in Arbroath.

Full story at BBC Scotland.
