The research findings show that the movement has successfully fostered interfaith harmony and collaboration through various activities, such as waste management, promoting environmentally friendly lifestyles, and interfaith dialogue. Eco-Bhineka Muhammadiyah has also helped break down stereotypes and prejudices among members of different religious communities and promote a shared commitment to environmental protection.
