Hi,
Earth Day Network has always engaged faith partners worldwide
through its programs and campaigns. Whether facilitating interfaith
dialogue on climate change between Christian, Jewish and Muslim
clergy, or working with India’s Sikh community to reduce plastic
consumption and waste, our goals have remained the same: to elevate
science, promote action and volunteerism, and expand environmental
education.
From Earth Day 2020’s climate action campaign, we’ve curated a
variety of digital content you can access at earthday.org. In the next several months we’ll
develop curricula based on this new digital content.
To learn more about our work, check out our
feature page and read the articles below. To
stay up-to-date on our faith program, sign up to receive monthly
updates.
In faith,
