For a long time Jews, Christians, and Muslims have been talking together about their faiths and identifying what they have in common. This has produced a lot of goodwill amongst members of the Abrahamic religions. But the time has come to move beyond talk to united actions, especially now when we are experiencing multiple environmental crises.
Sharing Eden is the right book for the right time. Nathan Levy (a Jew), David Shreeve (a Christian), and Harfiyah Haleem (a Muslim) explore six major green issues:
1. Sustainability and Waste
2. Water
3. Energy and Natural Resources
4. Climate Change
5. Food
6. Biodiversity and Regeneration
They share the teachings from the Torah, Bible, and Qu'ran and discuss what their communities are doing to stem the tide of environmental degradation. They get very practical in sections for each chapter on examples, ideas, and actions. Sharing Eden ends with a glossary and a listing of useful contacts.
