Faith communities are being urged to take action against climate change with a new resource titled “10 ways to decarbonize your House of Worship. HOW will you light the way?” This guide aims to provide practical steps for houses of worship to reduce their carbon footprint, aligning their values with impactful actions.

The initiative highlights the significant role faith communities can play as moral leaders and agents of change in addressing the growing impacts of climate change. It emphasizes that caring for Creation should be reflected not only in words but also in actions.

The guide offers a variety of suggestions, from forming a "green team" to adopting heat pumps, planting native gardens, and exploring solar energy options. Each step is designed to express care and contribute to building a healthier future rooted in faith and love.

This resource is intended as a starting point for faith communities looking to engage in climate action, fostering a movement of renewal and hope.
