Greenbuilding the Diocese of Charlotte: Promoting Respect for God’s Creation Through Faith

recycleboxUnderstanding and Action, NC

The Diocese of Charlotte, North Carolina, conducted three regional conferences in conjunction with a diocesan-wide educational campaign to address the critical and related environmental concerns of global warming and poor air quality as well as the associated health impacts of these on the quality of life of people, especially vulnerable and marginalized groups.


The conferences was organized by a newly formed Greenbuilding environmental justice committee which is currently being identified by diocesan staff with the assistance of key parish leaders. The committee is charged with recruitment for the three regional conferences, develop quality educational resources, place articles and editorials in local press, conduct additional workshops on climate change, discern action steps-including state legislative advocacy as well as corporate (parish facilities) and individual (homes and businesses) conservation measures-and broaden the overall awareness and understanding about climate change in the state of North Carolina.


Partners include the North Carolina Council of Churches, the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas Justice Committee and the Franciscan Spring Prayer Center
