Attuned to how “all of Creation lives and moves and has its being in God” and desiring to meet the environmental challenges of the moment, a group of Sisters – both retired and active in ministry – formed a Sustainability Committee, together with Motherhouse staff and Associates.
The committee is encouraging our Sisters and dear neighbors to adopt practices that reduce waste and energy consumption, reuse and repurpose goods to limit greenhouse gas production, conserve water and other natural resources, and advocate for broader action to protect and preserve our land, air, and life in all its (human and non-human) diversity.
Ideas, action steps, and educational resources will be offered on this page, focusing on six areas in 2021: air quality, sustainable land use (Part 1 and Part 2), energy, nature and simplicity, and education/advocacy/community. All are welcome on this journey to protect our common home.
