Letting people in your faith community know what they can do to reduce climate change can enrich the group and widen the circle of people taking action.

ARRCC believes that as individuals dedicated to the common good, inspired by our beliefs and energised by our spirituality, people of all faiths can and should be at the forefront of creating a safe climate.

Ways to share the message

There are a variety of creative ways you can engage your faith community in climate change action. Suggestions include:

• Encourage your spiritual leader to speak to the faith community about climate change at your worship meetings
• Offer to give a short presentation or talk about climate change during a worship meeting
• Invite a guest speaker to talk to your faith community about climate change. If you are based in greater Sydney, we can help you find a speaker
• Hold a special climate change event – maybe you could watch one of the documentaries that have been produced recently, such as An Inconvenient Truth or The 11th Hour -followed by a discussion session
• Encourage your faith community to do an 'energy audit' (link to the appropriate page) and switch your place of worship to greenpower (link to the appropriate page). Then actively encourage your faith community to take these steps in their homes
• Let other faith communities in your area know what you have done and inspire them to do likewise. Over time, you could form a network of environmentally conscious faith communities in your area
• Why not share your story by making your own YouTube video
