what is the root of
environmental crisis?
According to Pope Francis' "Laudato Si'," the
environmental problem is being caused by
consumerism, careless development, and the blind use
of Earth's resources.
He also discusses a way of thinking that prioritizes
financial gain over protecting the environment and people.
We agree with what Pope Francis said in "Laudato Si." While
consumerism can boost a country's economic status, when in
excess, it can lead to overconsumption and waste. When people
want to upgrade their devices every year, it can deplete the Earth's
resources very rapidly.
 What is Integral
Ecology?
Integral ecology can be defined as the connection
between humans and the environment. Pope Francis
discusses integral ecology in “Laudato Si,” which
emphasizes that everything is interconnected, going
beyond mathematics and biology to touch on the
essence of being human.
 HOW IS IT
GROUNDED IN OUR
CHRISTIAN FAITH?
According to Pope Francis, social problems like
poverty and inequality must be addressed in order to
tackle environmental ones. It is rooted in our
Christian faith by taking a holistic approach to
political, social, economic, and environmental
problems.
