New Design...  Selected from many of the world’s great religious texts and spiritual teachings, the Sacred Green Teachings were chosen to demonstrate that each religion and spiritual philosophy has a long-standing tradition of ecological stewardship.

The natural world is an essential phenomenon through which we may better come to know the divine. We have used a tree as our central image, to represent creation as a whole and symbolic of the entire Earth, its various peoples, cultures, creatures and ecosystems.

In addition to their many practical gifts, trees have long been sacred to people. Forests served as humanity’s first places of worship, and still evoke a sense of the divine. From the massive cathedral groves of redwoods to the knarled olive trees of the middle east, to the signature fat-trunked baobab of Africa, trees evoke something in us that reminds us of our connection to the natural world, as well as the divine.

The Green Rule poster, which is produced and published by Faith and the Common Good, measures 22" x 28" in size and makes a nice companion piece to the Golden Rule poster.

To support educators in using this poster, a Sacred Green Teachings poster Study Guide is available directly from Faith and the Common Good (click here).
