Environmental Stewardship: How Our Faiths Inspire Us to Adopt Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Lifestyles

Care for Creation is integral to virtually every faith. Since a vast majority of the world’s population belongs to a religious organization, people of faith have a unique opportunity, an obligation, and duty, to not only make our houses of worship more sustainable but also inspire our fellow congregants to lead a more sustainable lifestyle. In this session, we cover how scriptures and practices of four of the world’s religions—Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Sikh Faith, and the Baha’i Faith—inspire their followers to be environmental stewards. We share stories of how the faith communities are making this happen and what the faith communities can do collectively to leave a healthier and more sustainable planet Earth for our future generations, and also make stewardship of our houses of worship easier on them.
