Here comes an environmental audit tool for Buddhist organisations, developed as part of the European Buddhist Union's SEE-FAB (Sustainable Environment on Earth for All Beings) project.
Intended to be used by Buddhist centres and organisations wishing to reduce their environmental impact, its purpose is to highlight important areas of consideration and inspire quick fixes and broader organisational change.
The checklist is freely available in many European languages and covers five major areas:
- planning for sustainability
- energy use
- water use
- resource use, and
- biodiversity.
The list is intended to highlight what is being done at your centre and spur ideas for possible improvements. As you continue your sustainability journey, you can gradually check off the list, keeping track of your achievements.
