Ideas for celebrating Sikh environment day

The Sikh Environment Day Toolkit below, downloadable in Punjabi and English, gives nine areas in which you can make a difference to the environment around Sikh Environment Day. They include kirtan on the environment and a link to shabads on the environment, titled Eak Bageecha; also katha, children’s activities, move towards langar that is healthy for the environment, going plastic and styrofoam-free in your gurdwara and all your social activities, but a parsed, planting trees, organising a clean-up and (often forgotten but so important) spreading the word and telling others what you have done so they can join in themselves.

We have also created separate pages full of ideas about what Gurdwaras, schools, families and individuals can do in addition to this. And also for the first time we have created a list of ideas for thinking bigger about how you’re action can be a blessing to the environment for many years to come.

This is a page that is, appropriately, growing organically, so please keep returning. Also please go to our Sikh Environment Day Resources page for specific guides for gurdwaras to go green.
