Religious belief in its most ideal form can be seen as a powerful force to create purposive transformations by transmitting ecologically positive habit of practice and attitudes of mind to succeeding generations that share similar religious beliefs. This concept assumes even greater significance on considering howmore than half of the world’s population embraces some sort of religious beliefs to guide their everyday lives. Successful activities undertaken by religious communities in the state of Selangor, Malaysia, in implementing recycling activities, may afford a useful insight for other countries featuring a significant presence of religious communities in their socio-cultural landscape.
