Faith Climate Action Week 2023
Interfaith Power & Light’s Faith Climate Action Week 2023 will take place April 14-23. So, there is plenty of time to plan for public discourse, social action or community-building activities related to Earth Stewardship! This year’s theme is Living the Golden Rule: Just transition to a clean energy economy. It encourages that “we examine our responsibility to transition to energy sources that safeguard our common home, and how our faiths call us to respond with just solutions for all.”
This is also an excellent opportunity to spread the statement of the Bahá’í International Community One Planet, One Habitation: A Bahá’í Perspective on Recasting Humanity’s Relationship with the Natural World.
Some practical ideas:
· A community-wide conversation about Living the Golden Rule: Just transition to a clean energy economy
· Study classes of the BIC Statement One Planet, One Habitation: A Bahá’í Perspective on Humanity’s Relationship with the Natural World,
for a text edition suitable for study go here, for other study materials go here (just scroll down)
· A community nature walk (perhaps read some quotations from the Bahá’í Writings on Nature or from the BIC statement on the way)
· A children’s or youth class on nature (https://www.iefworld.org/children)
· Plant a tree as a community
· Start a herb garden at your Bahá’í Center
· Do an energy audit for your home or Bahá’í Center
