Partners for Environmental Quality (PEQ) was founded by Jewish and Christian leaders in New Jersey after the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro as a state-wide inter-religious coalition on the environment. In 1994, PEQ worked with the New Jersey Commission on Environmental Education to develop a plan for environmental education in New Jersey in schools and in non-formal educational settings, and joined an inter-religious environmental advocacy mission to the nation’s capital. Since the mid-1990s, PEQ has undertaken a variety of initiatives concerning climate change, energy use, air quality, and environmental health and justice. It helped facilitate focus groups in religious congregations on sustainability and energy consumption as part of New Jersey Future’s Sustainable State project, whose culminating 1999 report on the quality of life in New Jersey established eleven goals for attaining a more sustainable society. In addition to planning a statewide or regional interfaith summit on environmental justice, health, and stewardship in 2004–2005, PEQ is currently exploring the possibility of developing energy conservation consulting service for houses of worship.
