“We have done much injustice to our common home. Now is the time to repair our home for us and for our next generation,” he said.
Robi Mardy, a staff of Caritas, shared that “the present situation … shows us ways how we can restore Mother Earth.”
“We can use natural gifts, use our wisdom. We can stop polluting the water, the air, and land by small efforts,” he said,
