The NRPE formally began its activities in October of 1993. Since then, the NRPE and its member organizations have been striving for a better environment by raising money for environmental projects and initiatives, initiating programs to address critical environmental concerns, and by generating hundreds of press stories that have documented the contributions of the faith community.
