Welcome to Green Religion

My official topic for my blog is Green Religion. First let's start with why I'm doing this. As a journalism student at the University of Arizona and part of the team at UA's Cat Scan one of my assignments is to create and keep a blog. The blog needs to relate to the online newspaper's topic, green living. Since one of my passions is my faith I decided to research and share how people coming from different religions view taking care of the earth.

Using Harvard University's Forum on Religion and Ecology as a jumping off point I plan on talking to local Tucsonans representing different religions about what they believe they should be doing for the environment based on their religious views. I do recognize that talking to one person does not give us a complete view of one religion. I ask you the reader to keep that in mind as you are reading my posts and feel free to comment if you see something I missed, that you think is untrue or maybe have questions about and I will do my best to address it.

Here is the link to the information I found at Harvard's webisite:

There is also a list of links at the bottom of my blog page which will take you to the Cat Scan and the other blogs my classmates have created.

Thanks! Shannon

Blog Topic

The focus of UA's Catscan this semester is Green Living. I'm not sure what the correct term is, but I am pretty sure my blog will focus on religion-based green living... There are many topics to be explored and I have a plethera of resources so it will definately not be a bunch of posts of me telling you what I think, but of interviews, website links, research, etc... This is a work in progress, though, so hang in there with me please :)

Welcome

Welcome! This is the first time I have ever blogged so please hang in there while I figure this out. As a journalism student I find it very challenging to write about things that always have to have some kind of struggle. I hope to find a way to share good news. I know there's gotta be lots out there. I haven't decided on an official topic yet, though. I'll have to sit on that one and think about it for awhile.
Thanks!
