Plastic Pollution, Theological Ethics, and the Call of Laudato Si’

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The volume Plastic Pollution, Theological Ethics, and the Call of Laudato Si’ describes the situation regarding plastics from a different perspective than that most often encountered in the literature, highlighting the ethical obligation to care for creation as a foundation requiring solving the plastics dilemma. This was achieved by engaging religious leaders as well as scientists, economists, theologians, and others, blending their views arriving at a compelling moral argument for quelling the ever-expanding production of plastic materials, for the good of all humankind and the good of creation. The unique perspective in this volume should help to enlist those concerned about the health of our common home, regardless of political or faith persuasion.”
