Individuals and Families
Caring for creation
begins at home. You may live in an apartment or
a suburban home, alone or in a family. Whatever
your circumstances, your daily actions and choices
have an impact on the environment -- and therefore
on the lives of other people and creatures. Some
of those impacts may be harmful -- but there are
alternatives. From simple beginning steps to more
substantial changes in lifestyle, you can find
ways to put your faith and values into action
every day.
Each of us has a sphere of influence. It may
be large, or it may be small -- but what matters
is not so much the scope, but the quality
of that influence.
