Neighbours for the Planet is excited to join with neighbourhood Faith Communities to celebrate the Season of Creation, marked annually every September 1st to October 4th by several Churches.


On Sept 27th, Faith Communities, NftP and Climate Action movements come together virtually to celebrate the beauty and wonders of planet earth, to lament the destruction that has become a serious threat, creating Climate Change Emergencies world-wide; and to find New Hope for our Planet.


This is our Common Home, let’s come together to discuss what we can do individually and collectively to protect and care for our planet.

The Covid 19 may have constrained us but it has also awakened in us the need and potential to care for our earth.
