Caring for Creation and Preserving Natural Resources

Our duties towards the environment are linked to our duties towards the human person.

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.

“The future of the human family depends also on how we safeguard the gift of creation that our Creator has entrusted to us.” — Pope Francis
