This project allowed us to give an answer, timid but courageous, to the serious problems we have on our planet. From the parish we did not only want to limit ourselves to the selective pick up of garbage, the recycling and the reuse of materials but to go a little further, encouraging all people who come to the church to interiorize that our mission, as a sign of a committed faith, is reconciliation with Creation, preserving and improving it.

In the meetings of the Parrish which take place during the year: Christmas, Easter, special days such as theatre, encounters, excursions, retreats...we encourage to use environmental-friendly materials instead of those 'use and throw', avoiding excessive residues. We encourage people to make homemade shared food: tortillas, bread with chorizo, sandwiches of all kinds, sponge cakes, homemade desserts...

We store the water in 8 litre bottles, using a dispenser, so that people can serve it to them individually, avoiding soft drinks.

The parish was provided with reusable plates and glasses that are cleaned at each event by a cleaning team.

We organised a "talegas workshop" inviting all people of good will to participate: Caritas, parents of catechists, friends, relatives, neighbours. A collection of talegas were made from people who donated them to sell them later and donate the money collected to a project.

In September, we participated in the "World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation" by preparing the liturgy and handing out the first of the pamphlets on Laudato Si'.

In November, we participated in the "Day of the Diocesan Church", collaborating in the week of the peripheries, proposing an activity that would motivate the greatest number of people possible, and we came up with the idea of holding a "Workshop of talegas" in each of the three parishes. The response of the people was spectacular. They brought back scraps from their houses, their machines and everything they needed for sewing. We talked to the Valley Farmers' Market so that all the material produced could be sold.

We set ourselves goals:

• Respect and care for the land that God gave us,
• Be aware of the use of bags, baskets, etc. to avoid unnecessary use of plastic bags.
• Witness, as Christian believers, the care of our "Common Home".

In January, the "talegas" (bags) were sold at the Valley Farmer's Market and the money we collected was donated to "Missionary Infancy". It was a very interesting day with the participation of the seamstresses, who did not stop making "talegas"; and a group of young people, who attended the public and explained the purpose of the stall at the market. We consider these days as a beautiful expression of community, solidarity and familiarity between the three parishes. The predisposition of the Town Hall and the workers of the Market was unbeatable, to such an extent that they offer us the facilities when we need them.

In February, Justice and Peace in the person of Santi Catalán gave us a talk on Laudato Si'. We also collaborated in the organisation of the "Hunger Dinner" of Manos Unidas in Buzanada.

The rest of the information leaflets were distributed between January and March and published on the "Justice and Peace" website.

During Holy Week we prepared the Way of the Cross on Good Friday, dedicated to "The Care of Creation". And in the play "Jesus", we organised a sewing workshop.

For Corpus Christi, because of the pollution caused by the salt used to make the carpets, we proposed that each parish should make one, using recycled materials, flowers...

The COVID19 arrived and although there is a break in the activities of the parish, all the above achievements are still respected. Our collaboration in Laudato Si' Week, from 16th to 24th May, was informative, through the parish whatsapp and facebook as well as in the "Season of Creation". We continue our contribution to the liturgies.
