Religion as a model for sustainability

Im currently in Kockerill's Religion, Sustainability, and Spirituality class and so this idea is a spin off of some of the discourse going on in that class. Luckily for my particular concentration this class near perfectly condenses my course of study. So I was thinking about looking at Religion as a model for sustainability in particular regards and with specific consideration of Religious aspects which harness spirituality or utilize spirituality to institutionalize norms, religious memes, perceptions and understandings, and world-view or outlook.
