Is it time for a universal day of rest? A virtual conversation.

Green sabbaths will provide a recurring greenhouse for incubating the required collective consciousness and willpower — the ultimate renewable energies — to make the solutions reality. Green sabbaths will constitute both a model and a foretaste of the ecologically-sane world to come.

What are the benefits and challenges of such an idea and practice? What might such a day look like? Would it unite or divide people? What steps can we take now to make it happen?

Please enjoy this discussion with environmental and religious leaders, hosted by the Green Sabbath Project. Panelists: Bill McKibben, Rabbi Ellen Bernstein, Nigel Savage, Rev. Fletcher Harper, Mark Silk, Benji Backer, Archdeacon John Chryssavgis, Shantha Ready Alonso, Mirele Goldsmith. Moderated by Jonathan Schorsch. Recorded June 4, 2020.
