How to collect waste and convert it into subsidies for the poor according to the principle of environmental sustainability
The church of the whole world, driven by the indications of Pope Francis, is posing the problem of making a substantial contribution through correct behavioral policies and information on the theme of ecology, waste and waste.
There are so many fields in which the church is working, from the most visible to those less showy or under everyone’s eyes.
Among the most visible we can mention a choice made by the Church of England which, in collaboration with the company specialized in ecclesiastical clothing, Butler & Butler, launched the first tunic made of polyester fiber, created 100% with plastic bottles recycled.
These are not makeshift fabrics but real high-quality products, soft and soft that have nothing to envy from traditional ones.
But the Vatican’s indication of a family education in environmental responsibility touches on various aspects of the lives of the faithful:
– Avoid plastic packaging that is not strictly necessary
– Worry about properly separating waste at home
– Avoid food waste
– Reduce energy exploitation
– Minimize CO2 production through the necessary mobility
– Reduce water consumption
In debates and religious functions the relationship between man and nature has returned to its centrality, lost over time and seeks to recover a balance, even spiritual, between the ecosystem and human life.
But the initiatives do not end there. Among the less visible ones, we can mention an initiative by the Pope, who, through collaboration with the founders of Plastik Bank, a company that has developed a system for collecting plastic poured into the oceans, then transforming it into money, has launched initiatives of financial support for the indigent.
Considering that currently it is estimated that around 9 million tons of plastic per year end up in the oceans , for some time this initiative will economically support a large number of poor people, waiting for the adoption, finally, of more drastic environmental solutions so that finish this ecological mess.
