Protecting the environment is crucial for sustaining life on Earth, and the Laudato Si’ model, inspired by Pope Francis’ encyclical, emphasizes the interconnectedness of all life and the responsibility to care for our common home. Using eco-friendly briquette charcoal introduced by JDPCI Abuja with funding support from CAFOD aligns with this model.

Protecting the environment is crucial for sustaining life on Earth, and the Laudato Si’ model, inspired by Pope Francis’ encyclical, emphasizes the interconnectedness of all life and the responsibility to care for our common home. Using eco-friendly briquette charcoal aligns with this model by:

Protecting the environment helps maintain biodiversity, which is essential for ecosystem stability and resilience. Eco-friendly practices like using briquette charcoal minimize habitat destruction and support diverse ecosystems.

Eco-friendly alternatives reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to climate change. Briquette charcoal production typically emits less carbon dioxide compared to traditional charcoal, helping to mitigate global warming.

Also, The Laudato Si’ model emphasizes the need for sustainable development that meets present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Using eco-friendly briquette charcoal ensures that natural resources are conserved for future generations.

Environmental degradation disproportionately affects vulnerable communities. By protecting the environment, especially through sustainable practices like eco-friendly briquette charcoal production, we uphold human dignity by safeguarding the well-being of all people, particularly those most affected by environmental degradation.

The Laudato Si’ model advocates for an integral ecology that considers the interconnectedness of environmental, social, economic, and cultural dimensions. Protecting the environment through eco-friendly practices fosters this holistic approach to sustainability, addressing environmental challenges while promoting human flourishing and social justice.
