THE LAUDATO SI’ GOALS
Adoption of Sustainable Lifestyles
The Adoption of Sustainable Lifestyles is grounded in the idea of sufficiency, and promoting sobriety in the use of resources and energy. A proposed set of actions to make progress towards this goal includes the following (to be finalized in the coming months).
- Improving sustainability in buildings by installing cleaner or more efficient lighting, reducing use of heating and air conditioning, and installing low-flow taps.
- Improving sustainability in transportation by increasing use of electric vehicles or bicycles and by replacing air and auto trips.
- Improving sustainability in diets by reducing food waste before and after market, composting, buying food from local producers when possible, and transitioning from meat-based to plant-based meals.
- Improving sustainability in consumer purchases by eliminating the use of disposable plastic and styrofoam, correctly recycling as much as possible, and reducing purchases of new consumer goods.
