It looks in short to a Shinto that is green indeed as well as in word.

  • International Environmental Forum

    The International Environment Forum, as a Bahá'í-inspired professional organization for environment and sustainability, shares and upholds the principles and ideals of the Bahá'í Faith and supports its efforts to establish and promote peace, the unity of the human race, and an ever-advancing world civilization that preserves the ecological balance of the planet.

    The Bahá'í Writings warn of the dangers of material civilization carried to excess, enjoin moderation, emphasize the oneness of humankind, and support ecological principles such as the interrelatedness of all things, unity in diversity, and the fundamental reality of increasing levels of cooperation, complexity and reciprocity across the vast extent of creation. The Bahá'í Faith considers the preservation of the ecological balance at all levels in the world to be of vital concern to all humanity, and urges action for the environment and sustainable development from the local to the global level in ways that are in harmony with the rhythm of life in the community. Our inner life cannot be separated from the environment around us, the two being intimately interrelated, requiring that environmental and sustainable development issues also be addressed at the level of fundamental ethical and moral values and principles.

  • Muslim Hands

    "We have long been prioritising environmental sustainability in all our projects. Many of the people in the developing world suffer the consequences of our irresponsible and indulgent lifestyle choices so it is our responsibility to be aware of the environmental impact that our actions have on others.

    At Muslim Hands, we believe in operating projects in partnership with communities to deliver effective support that works in harmony with the surrounding environment. This means working locally to find sustainable solutions to the problems that people face.

    This can take many forms. Rather than flooding markets with foreign produce, we purchase food, clothes and other necessities in the vicinity, or as close by as possible which reduces the carbon footprint and also boosts business for local traders.

    Rather than clearing land for farming, we encourage the planting of orchards to bind the soil and provide people with a natural, long-term income source. Instead of using generators to produce electricity on new builds we use solar energy to reduce CO2 emissions. And environment forms an important part of our school curriculum, ensuring that the green message is passed onto future generations."

  • One Earth Sangha

    "While insecurity is inherent in being alive, life on Earth is pervasively more and more vulnerable. The biosphere’s ability to support all forms of life, including human society, is increasingly uncertain. While impacts and timelines vary consistent with existing patterns of oppression, none will ultimately escape the pervasive loss of ecological health currently underway. Average global temperatures, ocean acidification, and sea levels all rise while dramatic fires and storms punctuate Earth’s changing atmosphere. At the ground level, fresh water and fertile topsoil are in decline around the world. Meanwhile, the loss of life other-than-human, the creatures and rooted ones crafted by nature over millennia, goes on in the background in numbers and consequence largely unknown."

The religious organizations in Indonesia hope that with the action of millions of local communities, global reform will be made.

  • Faith in Place Personal Reflection

    "I consider the Waukegan Harbor and Beach the gem of my city. Nostalgia rushes back from my favorite memories at the lake. From running on the pier with my cross-country teammates to watching the most beautiful pink sunsets with a cone of ice cream in hand - it is still one of my favorite places to be today.

    Growing up, I did not realize the factory on the shore of our beach was a coal plant polluting our air and water. I feared how much this coal plant might have affected me, my family, my friends, and the cherished gem of my community.

    My work with Faith in Place is driven by my hope that future generations of Waukegan do not have to wonder and fear how the plant on their beach is affecting their health and environment. The Waukegan Harbor and Beach remains one of my favorite places in the city – but I’m excited to reimagine it without the coal plant on its shore.
