World Earth Day
On the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, Pope Francis called for greater protection for the planet.
During his weekly general audience, the pope described humans’ failure as guardians of the Earth, as seen in our exploitation of resources and damages to ecosystems.
“Because of our selfishness, we have failed in our responsibility to be guardians and stewards of the Earth,” he said. “We have polluted and despoiled it, endangering our very lives.”
The pupils and staff of St Clare's Abbey remembered "World Earth Day during lockdown.
. “You cannot get through a single day
without having an impact
on the world around you.
What you do, makes a difference.
You have to decide
what kind of a difference
you want to make.”
—Jane Goodall
