Climate Action

Many Orthodox churches in Ethiopia preserve a belt of forest around their buildings to resemble a renewed Eden. Those sacred forests are now providing the seeds for restoration in the larger landscape, which has been decimated by extractive agriculture. The government has undertaken a Green Legacy Initiative to foster a greener, more climate resilient country, with tree-planting as one part.

Joke of The Week

What kind of lights did Noah use on the Ark? Flood lights.
