Laudato Si Abassadors
What is Laudato Si?
Laudato Si’ is an encyclical written by Pope Francis, it was published on the 18 June 2015. Encyclicals are open letters written by the pope.
Laudato Si’ discusses the damage being inflicted on the Earth by humans and calls on ‘every person living on this planet’ to make urgent changes to our lifestyles and how we consume energy in order to protect the planet.
It deals with many environmental issues including:
-
pollution
-
climate change
-
water
-
loss of biodiversity
-
decline in the quality of human life.
In his letter Pope Francis implores us to work together to create a better world for future generations and asks us to make the necessary changes in our lives in order to take care of, respect and value our ‘common home’.
What have we been doing?
Last year, our Laudato Si ambassadors worked hard to spread the word and teach others about the importance of looking after our ‘common home’. They have already taken part in assemblies and events, and are really looking forward to developing their role in school this year.
