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.
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.

Join Caroline Wofford for a dive into climate change, policy, social justice, and imagining a better world. Working together using Using Climate Interactive's En-Roads Simulator tool we will create and analyze a scenario that limits global temperature rise, and investigate the social, economic, and environmental consequences of our actions. This will be a highly interactive workshop, so come prepared to participate, and be ready to challenge your mental models and expand your understanding of climate systems!
