A New Ecological Awareness

Did the pope endorse using green cleaning products? Well, not exactly. But the late Pope John Paul II did say “…a new ecological awareness is beginning to emerge which, rather than being downplayed, ought to be encouraged to develop into concrete programs and initiatives.” He also acknowledged, in his 1990 World Day of Peace message, that world peace is threatened (among many other things) by a “lack of due respect for nature.” Exercising due care for the environment is certainly within the scope of this teaching.
