Green Berliners: The Role of Religion and Nationality in the Sustainable Practices of Berlin’s Ethnic Germans and Turkish Muslim Migrants

Robert Clinton (GGFUP, 2015, Location: Berlin)

Robert Clinton’s project was to assess whether Germany’s environmental policy, which can appear to have only secular underpinnings because it is state-sponsored, can be traced to Christian tradition. He is interested in learning if this Christian-influenced environmental policy – by default – excludes other kinds of environmental practices, such as those practiced by Germany’s Turkish minority, which is mostly Muslim.  As a young person of color from the United States, Clinton was especially interested in understanding marginalization around the world.  As an environmentalist, he aims to mobilize more communities to become more conscious of their impact on the earth.
