🌿 Is political activism enough? 🌿
The #climate movement demands action from others, especially governments, but without personal conversion, little changes.
As #Catholics, we know the root of ecological destruction is sin. The remedy? Conversion of the heart and the saving love of Jesus Christ.

🌎 Science gave us the means to harm the climate.
To develop unsustainable energy.
To pollute, overconsume, and haphazardly develop.
To destroy landscapes and erase biodiversity.
So I say: don’t follow the science. Not by itself.
We need science guided by wisdom, ethics, and LOVE. 💚

We often treat conservation like it’s only technical work.
But if we want to heal the Earth, we need to ask how and why we work.
Environmental problems are social, cultural, and spiritual.
Conservation careers should be too.
