Praise
“Every believer should read this superb book . It shows why pollution is a social-justice problem and why its heaviest burdens are borne by the poor and the powerless. Down-to-earth, thoughtful, and insightful, it leads believers first to prayer and then to action to alleviate environmental problems. Designed for use either by small groups or by individuals, each chapter is filled with useful environmental discussions, relevant Scripture readings, prayers, and stories of ordinary people who are making a difference. Especially important are its suggestions of specific ways in which people can take action to protect people and the planet.”

“Catholics Going Green ... was written by Walter Grazer, former director of the environmental justice program for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. His expertise and passion about environmental justice come across clearly and lovingly.”
