From Interfaith Power and Light (http://interfaithpowerandlight.org):
As people of faith, cultivating compassion is part of the daily practice of all of our religious traditions. Renowned Vietnamese Buddhist Monk Thich Nhat Hanh says compassion is a verb. Once we feel compassion we are compelled to act. And when we act, we are making our love visible for one another and the world.
A very special film, The Human Element, was chosen to support this year’s Faith Climate Action Week theme for its capacity to inspire compassion for those who are suffering the impacts of climate change. Consider screening it for your congregation or community.

In this riveting and visually rich drama, blending art and science, we follow celebrated environmental photographer James Balog of Chasing Ice fame as he explores the impact of wildfires, hurricanes, sea level rise, a struggling coal mining community, and our changing air. With rare compassion and heart, The Human Element highlights Americans who are on the front lines of climate change, inspiring us to re-evaluate our relationship with the natural world.

This year’s Faith Climate Action Week theme is “Love Made Visible: Engaging in Sacred Activism” to protect the people we love and care about who are most impacted by climate change. Kits to support your sacred activism events include a guide on people of faith taking part in civic engagement, a guide to create eye-catching art for your events, Faith Climate Voter pledge cards and stickers, and more.

Thanks to a partnership with Earth Vision Film, Interfaith Power & Light is able to offer you this inspiring film. It’s a must see for people of faith concerned about the impact of climate change on human life in the United States.
