Two booklets on Ecological Issues
"In this International Year for Fresh Water, the Justice and Peace Promoters based in Rome have collaborated to produce an information booklet on “Water”. The aim is to raise awareness and promote Water as a gift to the planet, and not just as a “resource” to be exploited.
The booklet is a collaborative effort of the Ecology Working Group of the JPIC Promoters. Our first publication, on “Global Warming and Climate Change” has been translated into 14 languages. This booklet on “Water” is the second of a series we hope will help you to better understand and take action on ecological issues.
"Water for Life - In Defence of Our Sister, Water" is a small booklet produced by the Ecology Working Group of the JPIC Promoters, based in Rome. The booklet explores the issue of water as not just a precious resource, but a Gift of the Creator God to us! It gives practical ways to care for this Gift and work to conserve it. The booklet is available in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese and German from the website:www.ofm-jpic.org/agua
"Global Warming and Climate Change - an Issue for Religious Today" . This booklet, produced in 2003 is also available in about 14 different languages from the website: www.ofm-jpic.org/climatechange
