“As Christians, we cannot be indifferent to environmental degradation.”

“Let’s be good stewards; let’s reconcile ourselves with God’s creation.”

“We have a duty to cultivate and care for the earth.”

Caring for God's Creation

 

Globally biodiversity, the various kinds of life forms on earth, is being lost faster than it recovers and it is the poor who feel the brunt of this moral crisis. There are about 100 million different species co-existing with us on our planet. 

It is estimated that between 10,000 and 100,000 species are becoming extinct each year. And human activity is contributing to this.

Building the common good also requires us to consider whether or not we are good stewards of God’s creation. We have much work to do to promote ecological justice, which is inextricably linked to integral human development.

 

The earth and its fullness belong to the Lord, the world and all that dwell in it.

Taking responsibility.

Human beings affect rates of climate change and global warming. We must protect and promote authentic human development and environmental ecology. There is no sustainable development if we don’t learn to protect our biodiversity.
