April 22nd is Earth Day!
Did you know plastic, an amazing and useful product, has a dark side? As plastic breaks down, toxic chemicals are released into our food and water sources and circulate through the air we breathe. Microparticles have even been discovered in the blood stream of the human body. -EarthDay.org
This year’s Earth Day theme focuses on the growing problem of plastic pollution and complements the secular Earth Day theme of “Planet vs. Plastics.” At Catholic Climate Covenant you will learn how plastic production, consumption, and disposal are impacting human and planetary health, and give you strategies for personal, communal, and systemic actions.
