Ecology
The OMI JPIC effort supports good stewardship of the environment in a variety of ways. Among other things,
- We work to “green” the Oblate Congregation and the parishes with whom they work.
- We help to provide sustainable sources of water and food to countries where we work
- We fight climate change through public policy and responsible investing
- We educate by teaching young people to become better environmental citizens and by taking Eco-Missions to interested congregations.
- We fight unsustainable mining and energy extraction in both developed and developing nations
