WHO WE ARE
This movement was started by Frederick Krueger in 2018 to pull together the many efforts of people of faith, spirituality, ethics, science, and good will to heal the planet and its systems. He saw the need for something that summed up human responsibilities of mind, heart, and soul to succinctly spread the word. He and the National Religious Coalition on Creation Care accomplished this through the interfaith planetary ethic:
The Earth is Gods, and all this is in it. Thou shall not destroy the Earth, nor despoil the life thereon.
The Earth is Gods, and all this is in it. Thou shall not destroy the Earth, nor despoil the life thereon.
Frederick W. Krueger, Executive Director of the World Stewardship Institute (WSI), National Religious Coalition on Creation Care (NRCCC), Religious Campaign for Forest Conservation, Religious Campaign for Wilderness, and other programs. He launched and led the expeditions of Interfaith Oceans to Hawaii. He leads the WSI that sponsors this program and oversees its efforts.
Working in San Francisco, he has had a long passion for saving all life on the planet and the systems upon which they depend. He has worked on establishing religious ethical precepts in other areas, such as the Religious Campaign for Forest Conservation and the Spiritual Value of the Wilderness. He also serves as the Executive Director for the Orthodox Fellowship of the Transfiguration (OFT) and previously led the Christian Society of the Green Cross and organized the North American Conference on Christianity and Ecology. In the 1990s, when asked why he was speaking out with others to care for the forests and the rest of earthly creation, he replied: "For religious reasons, not environmental reasons, we're making this call. Religion in the modern era has broken the circle because of its failure to have an integrated relation to God, creation and people." Over a quarter of a century, he has helped to change this situation, working with others of faith to return mainstream religions to their nature-people-caring roots.

Alicia Krueger, Marketing Specialist, is working on getting the word out through the website and other means of the need for care of the ocean systems, species, and communities. She is currently working toward an M.S. in energy and public policy at the University of California San Diego. After that she hopes for a law degree in an appropriate field so that she can do advocacy for groups and public service. She provided this photograph of the whale breaching.
