We are an informal network of concerned Buddhist individuals, practising within the sangha of the FWBO (Friends of the Western Buddhist Order). What unites us is a belief that any effective Buddhist practice in today's world must include an ecological perspective that is fully integrated into our everyday lives.

To this end we are to seeking to formulate a list of 5 key initiatives, each accompanied by specific practical proposals, that Buddhists anywhere could undertake, each of which we feel are both necessary, achievable, and implied by fundamental Buddhist principles. This core activity is backed up by research into the environmental implications of the Buddha's fundamental insight - into Pratitya Samutpada - and the teachings of subsequent schools.

We aim to provide resources the individual Buddhist 'activist' can make use of in seeking to persuade his or her sangha to adopt more environmentally-friendly practices.
