Churches, temples, and other faith-based institutions can incorporate green practices into their buildings and programs just like any other place of learning and life. A fundamental pillar of almost every religion is caring for one another and stewardship for creation. Emphasizing these values gives you the reasons to make sure you are taking care of the planet that supports all life. Use the same tips and projects that have been outlined throughout this book, but discuss instead why it's important to do these things based on your religious beliefs. For many religions, you can find models of how environmental protection is being discussed in relation to your value system and spiritual teachings. Try going online and searching for your religious community's name along with the words environmental protection, environment, or even care for creation. You may be surprised at what you find.
