Welcome

Welcome to Greening Sacred Spaces (GSS) Hamilton at Environment Hamilton.

GSS is a joint program of 'Faith and the Common Good' and 'Environment Hamilton' to assist faith communities in taking practical actions towards a more sustainable and energy efficient place of worship and to educate members of the community about ecological issues.

Greening Sacred Spaces will help people of faith live out the call to protect our planet home within their own context. It also provides an opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations about the spirituality of eco-sustainability.
