So one thing that most if not all Pagan Traditions have in common is reverence for Nature. Whether that Nature be the Earth, Gaia, Goddess, the Body of a particular Deity or Giant... etc
Care for our planet, however, is a universal constant to all it's inhabitants, regardless of religion.
I want to share some resources.
GREEN WAYS BLOGS/WEBSITES
Unitarian Universalists for Social Justice - The Environmental Task Force has created a number of environmental education flyers.
PNC Florida - Great articles by 'local' pagans. The Food Problem is a good read about bad food choices in advertising.
No Unsacred Place - Earth and Nature in Pagan Traditions
No Unsacred Place also has this great article on why Pagans are not at the forefront of the environmental movement. I agree with her that we should be. This is one of the reasons I jumped on being responsible for helping the groups we are part of truly honor the Goddess, Mother Earth. The best way to do so is by minimizing the things that hurt nature. Earth matters and while we cannot 100% rid our footprint on the world, we can minimize it without a whole lot of effort or cost.
Green Living Tips - Just what it says. Lists categories and offers tips for going green.
One Good Thing - Holy Cow, a whole website of homemade cleaners and tips on how to clean many different things with minimal effort or harsh chemicals
OTHER BLOGS/WEBSITES
Witch's Voice - many articles by anyone who chooses to write
Pagan Space
Patheos - Truly a multi-faith site with a Faith Channel set aside for each of the major world religions as well as one for Pagans, Atheists and Spiritual. I particularly enjoy the columns from The Wild Hunt, Confessions of a Pagan Soccer Mom and the Friendly Atheist.
Witches and Pagans Magazine - I include this here as they have recently started offering on the site the old articles and have added a number of bloggers.
PRODUCTS I like
Seventh Generation - I buy a number of their products as they are environmentally friendly. They also have articles and answer questions.
Method - I like Method brand as I can find them in local stores a little more often than the Seventh Gen.
BOOKS I have on my shelf and highly recommend:
Plant Spirit Medicine
Month to Month Gardening in Florida (best book ever for growing your own garden in Florida)
Check back as we'll be updating this list as we find ore things to share.

Today Is The First Day Of The Rest Of This Blog...
Hello!
This is the official blog of the Sisterhood Of Ahel Adom's Green Temple.
The Sisterhood is a women's spirituality temple operating out of Ft. Lauderdale, FL. We gather together at least once a month, maybe more, to discuss Women's Mysteries, different Gods/Goddesses and other topics appropriate.
The Green Temple is a sub-group within the Sisterhood. Priestesses whose mission is to keep our meeting and rituals environmentally friendly and to create works outside of our Temple to the benefit of our Mother Earth.
Current Active Priestesses:
RedO and Shael are both funny and down-to-earth women and you can expect much humor and irreverence throughout our blogs.
Things done this year:
- Purchased re-usable plates and utensils for use by the Sisterhood.
- Recycle any items not able to be re-used
- Created Altars out in the world using all natural materials to honor the Earth and the Goddess.
- Earth Day Workday at John U Lloyd Park
Things we plan to do this year:
- Regular posts to this blog
- Update and Maintain the Unitarian Universalist Church of Ft. Lauderdale's Butterfly Garden (Creation of which was last year's project!)
- Create natural altars out and about in our cities
