Over the past two years, Anita & Bob Dygert-Gearheart developed the Wake Up World: A Comprehensive Curriculum On The Climate Crisis for Faith And Community Groups. Here's their description of the curriculum:
"Our hope is that this introductory study will help people move beyond awareness and despair to hope and action. We remember that each part of the problem is also an opportunity for action. ... After a year of reading, watching, listening, exploring, discussing, taking classes, while we are certainly not subject matter experts and have a lot more to learn, we are clear that the climate crisis is real and increasingly a part of all of our lives. For the sake of this and future generations, we believe we collectively have the responsibility and ability to confront this crisis. ... We have attempted to create a curriculum that can be helpful to persons of any faith, religious belief, or spiritual tradition [even agnostics or atheists who value justice]. If you are a human being living on planet earth, then you have the requirements for participation in this 6-class study. Whatever your belief system, it will likely have the potential to encourage your faithfulness in learning about the crisis at hand and what you can do to mitigate it, adapt to it, and preserve the earth for future generations."
