Each Congress Emailing we will
be highlighting our efforts
to reduce Congress' carbon footprint.
We are asking people (for those
able) to consider registering
online, as a way to reduce paper.
Also, consider downloading the Congress
Registration Guidebook instead
of ordering an additional book.

WHO'S UNDER
YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT?
Grand Arena Lobby, all weekend This year Congress will host
the Catholic Coalition on Climate
Change. This Special Exhibit
at Congress will aid in learning
how to take steps to reduce
our carbon footprint, care for
"the least of these" (Mt 25),
and raise our voice on behalf
of Creation and the poor. Explore
stories and images of our world’s
most vulnerable people who experience
the greatest impact from climate
change, but who contribute the
least to the problem. Discover
inspiring and prayerful responses
to climate change, including
the St. Francis Pledge to Care
for Creation and the Poor.
Take the St. Francis Pledge |
