“Many things have to change course, but it is we human beings above all who need to change. We lack an awareness of our common origin, of our mutual belonging and of a future to be shared with everyone.” (LS 202)

“For our schools, this means preparing students and their families to identify with and feel responsible for all creation; to assume God’s loving view of the world.” (ALT 190, Global Identifier 4)

As a family, we are the single most significant influence in the life of our child. From their first moments of life, our children rely on us to safeguard them and to provide for their needs. Parents are a child’s first teachers and act as role models in how to act and how to experience the environment around them, playing a vital role in our child’s ecological awareness and education. By encouraging positive ecological justice attitudes and practices at home, we model and foster a respect for the environment, and care for all living and non-living things, for our family.
