In 2008, Jessica Morthorpe started the Five Leaf Eco Awards.

Ahead of the curve when it comes to encouraging Christians to actively care for creation, Jessica split the awards into categories of community life.

As she told Hope Mornings during Sustainability September, the Five Leaf Eco Awards cover buildings, worship, congregation, outreach and local leadership.

Jessica also explained some of the creative ways which church communities in Australia are becoming more eco-friendly.
