Beyond Plastic EcoChallenge 2025

Please join our team: “Faith Communities Go Green Beyond Plastics EcoChallenge 2025”
Faith Communities Go Green, a collaboration between Green Umbrella and Equasion, believe that faith communities have a powerful voice to offer as the world confronts the climate crisis. Religious organizations and communities can become strong allies in the fight for climate action. All traditions emphasize the moral and ethical imperative to care for creation. Individual efforts are important, but collaboration within and among congregations can bring about much greater change.
MISSION:
Partnering with religious communities to create a more sustainable and equitable future for all by mobilizing their moral voice to reduce the risk of catastrophic climate change.
VISION:
Religious communities collaborating to integrate care for creation in their lives and society.

Facilities Working Group
Work with houses of worship and religious institutions in our Greater Cincinnati area to reduce their environmental impact by lowering their carbon footprint through implementation of actions described in a Facilities Toolkit.
Start a Green Team!
Having a green team in a house of worship enables lay members to influence attitudes and daily behaviors to better care of our planet for future generations. Show people the connections between environmental issues and other issues they might care about, such as refugees or food insecurity. Use the strengths of the people on your team.

- Kiss the Ground
- 7/20/2025-16:30
- 7/20/2025-17:20
- Kiss the Ground reveals that, by regenerating the world’s soils, we can completely and rapidly stabilize Earth’s climate, restore lost ecosystems and create abundant food supplies. Using compelling graphics and visuals, along with striking NASA and NOAA footage, the film artfully illustrates how, by drawing down atmospheric carbon, soil is the missing piece of the climate puzzle.
