The second Green Shabbat takes place this weekend, backed by rabbis from across the religious spectrum.

Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis is among those who have released video messsges in support of the event, promoted by Ecosynagogue and the Board of Deputies.

"The coronavirus lockdown has highlighted for us in so many ways how irresponsible our societies have been with regard to the environment," Rabbi Mrivis said.

Other videos have been issued by Reform's Senior Rabbi Laura-Janner Klausner, Rabbi Charley Baginsky, interim joint-director of Liberal Judaism, Muswell Hill United Synagogue's Rabbi David Mason and Board vice-president  Edwin Shuker.
