Environmental stewardship has a moral dimension, particularly in the recognition of the impact that environmental deterioration has on people, families, and the poor.

Protecting vulnerable people from harm should be a driving factor in setting policy to protect the environment and preserve the world’s resources.

To better care for creation and preserve the state’s natural resources, MCC supports:

• Improving access to safe and affordable drinking water and promoting responsible stewardship of natural resources.
• Protecting Michigan’s lakes, natural resources, and public lands.
• Encouraging use of sustainable sources of energy.
• Promoting sustainable practices in food production, waste management, and transportation.
• Recognizing the disproportionate effect that climate change and pollution have on the poor and vulnerable and working to mitigate those disproportionate effects.
