It\u2019s hard to miss the interest in sustainability, the environment, and climate change discussions around campus. On Monday, October 5th<\/sup>, at 7:00PM, in the Summers Auditorium, a number of faith-based student organizations, the UWW Sustainability Office<\/a>, S.A.G.E.<\/a>, and P.E.A.C.E.<\/a> are sponsoring a presentation and discussion around faith perspectives on climate change: Faith and Climate Change<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While most recently the Catholic Pope Francis has ignited conversation\u00a0worldwide with his encyclical letter, \u201cOn Care for Our Common Home<\/a>,\u201d Andersen Library has\u00a0many resources which\u00a0provide background to the intersection of religion and environmental interests. A simple\u00a0search in Research@UWW<\/a> results in print and electronic titles from the Religion and Sustainability : Social Movements and the Politics of the Environment<\/a> to Making Nature Sacred : Literature, Religion, and Environment in America from the Puritans to the Present<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Take a deeper dive into the science, politics and religious issues using the following databases:<\/p>\n

Environment Complete<\/a> database provides access to scholarly research articles in agriculture, ecosystem ecology, energy, renewable energy sources, natural resources, marine & freshwater science, geography, pollution & waste management, urban planning, and more.<\/p>\n

GreenFILE<\/a> focuses on aspects of human impact to the environment. This is for the researcher looking for individual response to environmental issues, such as solar or wind power options; on corporate response such as alternative energies used in the business sector; or on local or government impact such as environmental laws and studies.<\/p>\n

ATLA Religion Database<\/a> provides information on topics including religion in social issues.<\/p>\n

Finally, hear what speakers from a variety of perspectives have to say, and participate in\u00a0the discussion. The UWW Diversity Forum<\/a> offers a variety of opportunities, through\u00a0presentations and film screenings during\u00a0Fall semester:<\/p>\n
