The 90 minute video, Home is a powerful narrative of life on Earth and the impact of humans on Earth’s life systems. It begs the question – what are we to do given this information? It’s worth a watch and a discussion.
In 27 October 2009, The Baha'i International Community announced that it has become a partner in a United Nations-sponsored program to promote "generational change" to address climate change and environmental sustainability.
"One of the long-term goals of the Baha'i Faith is to promote the positive transformation of individuals and communities, and to this end we already sponsor thousands of study circles, children's classes, devotional gatherings, and youth groups in more than 180 countries."
"These activities include the systematic study of the Baha'i writings in small groups in order to build capacity for service; devotional gatherings aimed at connecting the hearts of participants with the Creator; neighborhood children's classes that offer lessons aimed at laying the foundations of a noble and upright character; and groups that strive to assist young teens to navigate a crucial stage of their lives and become empowered to direct their energies toward the advancement of civilization."
