This page provides resources for getting started on environmental issues in a house of worship, including 6 recommended steps, eco-tips and how to build an effective green team.
More and more houses of worship want to protect Creation. Similar to any new initiative, however, often the biggest step is just taking the first step.

- A list of the first 6 steps your congregation should take towards greening.
- Guidelines on building an effective green team.
- Two years' worth of eco-tips, which you can place in your newsletter and on your website.
And don't forget GreenFaith's Resource Center, where you can find many additional resources and tips for worship, religious education, greening of your building, and environmental justice.
GreenFaith also offers getting started tips for households & individuals.
