C.A.R.E

Conversations for Awareness on Religion & the Environment (C.A.R.E.) is a three-part online public forum on the theme of religion and the environment.

The conversations aim to raise awareness about the need for individuals and religious communities to step up efforts to care for the environment through practical ways such as reduction of waste, recycling and education on crises afflicting the Earth. #CARE
