Greening Sacred Spaces

Greening Sacred Spaces

Greening Sacred Spaces is a practical program to assist faith communities in taking actions to create a more sustainable and energy efficient place of worship and to educate members of the community about ecological issues.

The Green Rule

The Green Rule presents sayings from more than a dozen of the world's great religious and spiritual traditions, demonstrating that at their core all have an awareness of the sacredness of creation. The poster has a companion study guide.
