Sometimes it can feel like climate change is too big, too overwhelming, to be dealt with by individuals. “Living the Change” is a global initiative which assists people of different faiths to explore how they can be part of the solution – together.

The initiative invites people of faith to gradually adopt lifestyles which, together with structural change, will help limit global warming. These are also lifestyles which show gratitude for life’s blessings, and which show care for Creation and all who depend on it. We encourage:

• Eating less meat
• Using cars and plane travel less
• Energy efficiency and using clean energy

ARRCC and ISRA are collaborating on this workshop which will include discussion, practical information and mutual support and encouragement.
