A St. Valentine's Day visit to a Landfill

A reflection form Pope Francis:

Human beings too are creatures of this world,
enjoying a right to life and happiness,
and endowed with unique dignity.
So we cannot fail to consider
the effects on people’s lives of
environmental deterioration,
 current models of development
and the throwaway culture.

(Pope Francis:  Laudato Si' #43)


An alternative way to demonstrate care for creation
 was offered on St. Valentine's Day in Tucson
Watch the video:


Oscar & Diana Harper, Creation Care advocates
at Our Lady of Fatima Parish in Tucson are seen in the video.
They joined this tour to see where our area's waste ends up!
