Environmental Protection
“Practicing environmental protection to live in harmony with Mother Earth”

​In a 1990 speech, Dharma Master Cheng Yen called on the public “to carry out environmental conservation with applauding hands”. Since then, Tzu Chi volunteers have been earnestly practicing environmental protection. To promote waste reduction and motivate recycling regardless of age or social stature and without fear of filth, conservation volunteers humbly and selflessly give all of their care to the earth. From protecting our earthly environment to protecting our mental environment, Tzu Chi advocates a healthy diet of more fruits and vegetables and discourages meat consumption. If we live a simple lifestyle and reduce our carbon footprint while constantly cherishing the earth, we shall slow down the global warming crisis.

Every April, youths come together to compete in the “Hunger Games” as they learn about environmentalism and vegetarianism. And teams compete in making the most delicious and creative three-course dinner with the theme ingredient.

Chinatown street cleaning

Every month, Tzu Chi Boston volunteers bring their tools, and clean the streets of Chinatown, with the other local organizations. We work towards creating a bright and clean Chinatown, maintaining environmental cleanliness, caring for the planet. While we clean the streets, we work on our practice, meditating on cleansing our afflictions as well.
