Living Sustainably as Spiritual Practice

the Creation Spirituality Communities' Conference, Chicago 

June 16-19, 2011

 

Ecological justice is essential for the sustainability of life on Earth.

 

We will gather acknowledging that ecological justice is essential

for the sustainability of life on earth.

 

Living sustainable lives involves exploring our pattern of resource use in order to meet human needs in the present while not destroying the environment and preserving it for future generations.
