EcoSikh

EcoSikh is an environmental organization founded in 2009, inspired by the Sikh faith's teachings regarding the environment and the interconnectedness of all creation. The organization works to address environmental issues globally, with a particular focus on India and the Punjabi region, promoting sustainable practices and advocating for policies that protect the environment. EcoSikh's mission is rooted in the Sikh concept of "Pavan Guru, Pani Pita, Mata Dharat Mahat" (Air is the Guru, Water is the Father, and Earth is the Great Mother), emphasizing the sacredness and interconnectedness of these elements.

EcoSikh undertakes various initiatives, including tree planting drives, promoting renewable energy, advocating for sustainable agriculture, raising awareness about environmental issues, and working with local communities and governments to implement environmentally friendly practices. They actively engage with Sikh Gurdwaras (places of worship) to encourage them to adopt sustainable practices such as waste management and water conservation. EcoSikh's work extends beyond the Sikh community, partnering with other faith-based organizations and secular groups to address environmental challenges collectively. The organization operates through a network of volunteers, staff, and partner organizations globally.
