Lighten Up!, says the Rev. Sally Bingham

How can faith groups be energized and mobilized to take real environmental action? This excerpt from the film “Lighten Up!” explores that question through the work of the Reverend Sally Bingham and The Regeneration Project, an organization dedicated to inspiring faith communities to embrace environmental stewardship. The film captures Reverend Bingham’s approach to engaging religious congregations, demonstrating practical strategies for translating spiritual conviction into tangible environmental action — from energy efficiency to broader sustainability initiatives within faith institutions.

This excerpt offers a glimpse into how grassroots religious organizing can drive meaningful environmental change, highlighting The Regeneration Project’s role in building a movement of environmentally engaged faith communities. The film’s title itself, “Lighten Up!,” playfully underscores its dual message: both the literal call to reduce environmental impact and a lighter, more hopeful approach to climate engagement within religious spaces.
