“The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.” –Robert Swan

Prayer

God who calls us,

The consequences of environmental degradation are all around us, yet the causes are so vast it can be hard for us to know how to respond effectively. Protect us from the false belief that, faced with problems of such magnitude, we are somehow excused from the call to action. Your holy word and our own experience teach us that you have called every one of us to nourish and care for the world you have made. Inspire us to do so, such as we can, each in our own way today. As those who bear your image, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

What concrete opportunities can I be a part of in my community, to help take ownership over my environment and steward it more responsibly?
