10 Ways Your Faith Community Can Decarbonize: A Spiritual Call to Climate Action
As people of faith, we are called to care for Creation — not just in word, but in action. In New Mexico and across the world, the impacts of climate change are growing more severe, especially for the most vulnerable among us. In the face of this crisis, faith communities have a powerful role to play: as moral leaders, as spiritual anchors, and as agents of real change.
That’s why we’ve created a new resource: “10 ways to decarbonize your House of Worship. HOW will you light the way?”
This simple guide offers practical, spiritually grounded actions any house of worship can take to reduce its carbon footprint. Whether you’re just beginning or ready to go deeper, these steps can help your community align its values with its impact.
From starting a “green team,” to switching to heat pumps, to planting native gardens and exploring solar — every action is an expression of care. Together, we can build a healthier, more just future rooted in faith and love.
Let this be your starting point — a spark that grows into a movement of renewal and hope.
