CBCP calls on faithful to minimize use of plastic
Excerpt
The CBCP recommended the faithful to start living simply and to refrain from using single-use plastic which greatly contributes to the pollution of the ocean and waterways. “Live simply, minimize consumption and actively practice ecological awareness and action through integral waste segregation and by minimizing the use of plastic and paper, by eliminating single-use plastics, polystyrene and the like, from our homes and institutions,” the CBCP said. The bishops also called on the faithful to “participate in efforts to protect and preserve our seas, oceans and fisheries resources.” They also voiced their favor on the protection of watersheds at a time when many parts of the country are still experiencing water shortage.
