Green Ummah is a nationally incorporated non-profit organization seeking to create an environmental and environmental justice movement within the Muslim community. Green Ummah was created in 2020 by youth advocates for the environment who found a gap in the Canadian Muslim community as it pretains to environmental consciousness. Since our inception, Green Ummah has expanded the team to include four coordinators, amassed a volunteer base of 40+ volunteers across the country, and built strategic partnerships with organizations such as Nature Canada. We hosted Canada’s first Muslim-organized environmental conference in 2020 and launched the first-ever ready to teach curriculum focused on Islam & the Environment and Environmental Justice (The Greening our Communities Toolkit).

Hi! My name is Dhruhi Patel and I am currently a high school student at John P. Steven's High School in Edison, New Jersey. I am passionate about environmental science and environmental engineering through which sustainable solutions emerge. I believe as a society, if we work together, we can fight against climate change and so I strive to educate myself and others on climate solutions to create a better future for all.
