Keep our sacred sites plastic-free!
We the undersigned need clear guidance and guidelines from organisations that own the land that holds our sacred sites and from leaders within the Pagan Community to protect our sacred spaces from plastics and non biodegradable offerings and clooties.
Why is this important?
All across the UK people have been increasingly leaving non biodegradable memorial objects and ritual offerings at sacred sites, circles, wells and henges. This has now reached epidemic proportions and is unsustainable. The natural environment can no longer bear the weight and impact of this behaviour and it is too big and important an issue for any one person in any one place to tackle alone. This problem calls for joined up thinking from those bodies within and without the Pagan Community to create clear public guidelines for these practices, for structure that promotes better ways of interacting mindfully within our sacred sites. This will be to the benefit of all, but most importantly will safeguard our sacred landscape for future generations to come.
