EcoOrthodox Pre-Survey

EcoOrthodox - a Parish Guide to Sustainability

EcoOrthodox, a Girl Scout Gold Award project, was created to bring light to the harm being cast through single-use items onto one of God's many creations - Earth. EcoOrthodox is a sustainability plan that houses of worship can follow and easily implement to transform their communities from harmful to healthy. While EcoOrthodox is geared towards Orthodox Churches, this plan can be implemented within any religious organizations across the globe.
