Earth Friendly Practices seek to inspire faith communities and individuals to promote and take part in environmentally friendly actions such as recycling, tree planting, sustainable gardening and landscaping, renewable energy, fair trade sourcing and shopping.
ICCT is marking Advent 2022 by offering you and your congregation an Advent Daily Reflection Guide on Creation care, suggestions for Advent Creation care worship resources, and twelve ways to care for Creation as we celebrate.

Since its inception, ICCT has held the firm belief that together, faith communities will make a powerful impact on the growing climate crisis. Happily, earth care practices at the 78 ICCT faith communities are bubbling up everywhere. To learn from and inspire each other, ICCT's Earth Friendly Practices Action Team has created a survey for network Triangle congregations.
