Floresta- Healing the Land and its People

Floresta USA is a Christian, nonprofit organization dedicated to Third World economic development and environmental restoration. Floresta recognizes the link between people, economics and the environment, and has devised a creative program to benefit all three. Floresta provides slash-and-burn farmers with loans, technical assistance, and product marketing services to set up small agroforestry businesses. By facilitating the switch from subsistence farming to agroforestry, Floresta is helping the rural poor, while halting the deforestation created by traditional farming techniques. Floresta is currently working in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Mexico.

National Religious Partnership for the Environment

The National Religious Partnership for the Environment is a federation of four major American faith communities: the United States Catholic Conference, the Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life, the National Council of Churches of Christ and the Evangelical Environmental Network. With a commitment "to be ourselves, together," each of our faith groups is implementing distinctive programs on behalf of a common mission: We act in faith to cherish and protect God's creation. Our goal is to integrate commitment to global sustainability and environmental justice permanently into all aspects of religious life.

Society, Religion and Technology Project- Church of Scotland

The Society, Religion and Technology Project was begun by the Church of Scotland in 1970, to address wider issues being raised by modern technology. Its concern was not only that the church should be well informed, but to stimulate balanced debate in the public at large and amongst those working within technology itself.
