“We already have the technology and knowledge to apply the brakes. And we as a community of believers and stewards of creation all have an important part to play to effectively #MoveTheDate back each year so the Earth has time to replenish the resources we use,” says The Rev’d Peter Moore, Chair of Angligreen
Queensland Anglicans marked Australia’s Overshoot Day today with bell tolling across the south-east and a vigil outside the electoral office of the Assistant Minister for Environmental Management the Hon Trevor Evans MP, calling for effective climate action by 2030
“And so, it comes back to how well we honour our relationships. The principle of loving one’s neighbour invites us to approach the planet with a different framing. At its heart, loving one’s neighbour involves acknowledging that we are connected to one another. My welfare and yours are interdependent. And we both cannot truly flourish unless the koala does, too,” says The Very Rev’d Dr Peter Catt
“I, like most shoppers, have often experienced supply shortages on supermarket shelves during the last two years. Sometimes this shortage was caused by people taking much more than they needed…Our planet is also experiencing supply problems. Humans are taking more from the planet than it can reproduce,” says The Rev’d Peter Moore, Chair of Angligreen
“How do we #MoveTheDate back without being forced to by a pandemic? There are effective and affordable solutions. We can accelerate their implementation by sharing knowledge of what works and bringing people together,” reflects The Rev’d Peter Moore, Chair of Angligreen
St John’s Cathedral joined churches around Australia today, as they simultaneously tolled their bells and lit candles to mark Earth Overshoot Day, a national ‘day’ led by Resource Church St John’s Cathedral
