British Hindus engage in most eco-friendly actions of all faith groups, research shows

The article discusses a study by the Institute for the Impact of Faith in Life (IIFL), which found that British Hindus lead the way in environmental action compared to other faith groups. The research surveyed Christians, Muslims, and Hindus, revealing that 64% of Hindus participate in rewilding, 78% actively change their consumer habits, and 44% join environmental groups. The study highlights that Hindus’ belief in the interconnectedness of all existence fosters a deep-rooted environmental ethic. While 92% of Muslims and 82% of Christians believe their faith obligates them to care for the environment, this does not always translate into action. The report also found key differences between the two monotheistic faiths, with Christians reporting the lowest levels of conservation action.
