  4. We will acknowledge the urgency of the climate crisis and act with the required integrity.
  5. We will confirm creation-centered elements of our faith and spirituality, acknowledging the whole of creation as a gift and promise and under the care of Mary mother of the New Creation. We will pray and act as co-creators and guardians of this world redeemed in the Incarnation, Death and Resurrection of Christ.
  6. We confirm and welcome the new corporal and spiritual work of mercy, "care of our common home" (Pope Francis 2016)


Procedures:

  1. Each community will draw up a guide of practical suggestions which will utilize life sustaining practices with a focus on energy use, travel, food, waste and water use, and other practical issues according to the local situation, and available resources.
  2. A "sustainability animator", someone who leads by encouragement and example, can be nominated in each community.
  3. Spending time in nature, in the form of reflection, gardening and its associated activities, is encouraged as a life-giving, homemaking spiritual practice.
  4. We will encourage employees and colleagues, in our various Marist projects, to take action in their lives to complement our own sustainability commitments.
  5. As communities and as a Province we will discuss ways of measuring our carbon footprints and look towards reducing them over time.
  6. The community sustainability covenant will be reviewed annually, at the special community meeting held to review and plan their religious and apostolic life. [C.176]
