The Greening of Catholic Morality PDF Print E-mail

california-hillsIs it a sin to toss trash out your car window? Do Christians have a moral obligation to recycle their paper, glass and plastics? What about energy consumption? Are the number and length of our daily showers, our use of heating and air conditioning, the gas mileage of our cars, even the use of our cars, our daily consumption of disposable items, of any moral importance whatsoever?
