We pray for the healing of the earth, that present and future generations may enjoy the fruits of crea-tion, and continue to glorify and praise you. These are ideas that you and your family can pledge to do in response to Pope Francis’ call for us to “counteract the throwaway culture which affects the entire planet.” *Refuse/say NO to disposable plastic whenever & wher -ever possible. Choose items that are not packaged in plastic, and carry your own bags, containers and utensils. Say, “no straw, please.” *Reuse durable, non-toxic straws, utensils, to-go contain-ers, bottles, bags, and other everyday items. Choose glass, paper, stainless steel, wood, ceramic & bamboo over plastic. *Reduce your plastic footpr int. Cut down on your con-sumption of goods that contain excessive plastic packaging & parts. If it will leave behind plastic trash, don’t buy it. *Recycle what you can’t refuse, reduce or reuse. Pay atten-tion to the entire life cycle of items you bring into your life, from source to manufacturing to distribution to disposal. *Participate in a beach, stream, r iver , park, road cleanup *Support local bans on single-use plastic bags & Styrofoam. *Avoid microbeads: Tiny plastic par ticles, called “microbeads,” are a growing source of ocean plastic pollu-tion.
