Green Ambassadors

Program

At EnviroMuslims, we are firm believers that there are Muslims across the country that are making decisions in their everyday lives that are benefitting the natural environment – and we want to celebrate them! The Green Ambassador campaign aims to celebrate the diversity of the Canadian Muslim population by sharing the stories of those who are working to protect, nurture, and improve our shared home – Earth.

Objectives

Whether you are an environmental professional working in the field, a student leading sustainability related efforts on campus, a family talking about climate change or consciously decreasing the waste you generate, or an individual working towards embedding environmental sustainability in your life and within your community, we want to hear from you!

Islam holds a high regard for environmental stewardship and sees it as a religious duty for Muslims to learn about environmental issues and make changes both individually and collectively to protect the natural environment.

There is growing interest from Islamic leaders in Canadian mosques to engage in sustainable practices, and a definite need to provide them with holistic support and guidance to set and achieve sustainability targets and educate mosque users on environmental stewardship. All of the respondents to our survey want their local mosque to join a program that helps them become environmentally friendly by using resources efficiency and reducing costs.

Since mosques serve both as a place of worship and a place to generate economy, education and social cohesion of the community, they serve as an influential medium for spiritually and behaviorally congruent environmental sustainability interventions in Muslim populations, and for improving and maintaining a healthy environment. In fact, 98.4% of Canadian Muslims surveyed agreed that mosques have an important role in inspiring the Muslim community to care for nature.
