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
