As climate change worsens, Catholics are called to act rapidly against its negative effects.
“We need to be responsible for Mother Earth, be mindful of our actions that include sustainable production and consumption, ethical investments, divestment from fossil fuels and any activity harmful to the planet and the people, supporting circular economies, and prioritising labour and protecting the dignity of workers,” said Archbishop Simon Poh in a message to the Archdiocese of Kuching.
“In the face of climate change, governments, Christians, and all peoples are asked to act NOW!” he said. Sarawak plays a central role in Malaysia’s agricultural sector as a whole, producing both foodstuff for local consumption and cash crops for export. “While we progress in food production with modern farming methods, we are all reminded of Pope Francis’ Laudato Si’ responsibility,” said the archbishop.
The prelate invites every Catholic to overcome the ‘use and throw’ mentality, reduce waste, and live a sustainable lifestyle by closely practising the 7Rs every single day - Rethink your choices; Refuse single-use; Reduce consumption; Reuse everything; Repair before you replace; Refurbish / Re-purpose old stuff, and Recycle only as the last option.
