The Season of Creation
“When we speak of the “environment”, what we really mean is a relationship existing between nature and the society which lives in it. Nature cannot be regarded as something separate from us or as a mere setting in which we live. We are part of nature, included in it and thus in constant interaction with it.” (Laudato Si’,139)
