Month: April 2021

The money tree

Posted on April 29, 2021 by psteiner23

“Money doesn’t grow on trees.” You probably remember hearing this as a kid, admonishing you not to waste money. I was thinking about that phrase today as I envision a potential world that puts a price on carbon. In some cases, we have already put a price on carbon in some countries and states and… Continue reading

Sustainability Challenge for May

Posted on April 28, 2021 by psteiner23

In May, I challenge you to commit to at least one new habit that helps conserve water. To choose your commitment, think about the areas of your home. Here are some suggestions:Kitchen:-Opt for the dishwasher over hand washing. It may seem counterintuitive, but it turns out washing dishes by hand uses a lot Bathroom:Ex. Turn… Continue reading

What do you know?

Posted on April 27, 2021 by psteiner23

“Those who have the privilege to know, have the duty to act.” -Albert Einstein What comes to mind when you hear this quote from Albert Einstein? What do you feel that you are privileged to know? Are you acting on that knowledge? Given the focus of this blog, I think climate change fits appropriately into… Continue reading

Ecological Examen

Posted on April 26, 2021 by psteiner23

You may be familiar with the Examen which is a prayer practice that helps us reflect on our day and the ways in which God was present to us. The technique was created by St. Ignatius of Loyola in his Spiritual Exercises and continues to be an important of the Jesuit order and Christians everywhere.… Continue reading

Happy Earth Day 2021

Posted on April 22, 2021 by psteiner23

I have to say that Earth Day was not something I paid much attention to up until a few years ago. I remember doing some school projects in middle school and high school related to Earth Day. I also recall some events on campus when I was a college student. It wasn’t something I prioritized… Continue reading

Using Climate Data Effectively

Posted on April 21, 2021 by psteiner23

For those who keep up with climate change in the media, we consistently hear about the troubling data around global warming, biodiversity loss, etc. This certainly urges us on to continue the efforts to combat climate change. However, this scary data is often not that useful for folks who aren’t on the same page about… Continue reading

Time Capsules

Posted on April 20, 2021 by psteiner23

Today I wrote a letter to myself to read in 30 days after I finish a leadership program. Even for just a short period, it’s interesting to consider what the world (and you) will be like when reading the letter later on. I think this is the attraction of time capsules – the idea of… Continue reading

Saint Laura Montoya

Posted on April 16, 2021 by psteiner23

Recently I learned about Saint Laura Montoya Upegui, who lived from 1874-1949 and was canonized in 2013. Mother Laura Montoya lived and served in Colombia and as Pope Francis said in her canonization Mass, she was an “instrument of evangelization, first as a teacher and later as a spiritual mother of the indigenous in whom… Continue reading

Working in our world

Posted on April 15, 2021 by psteiner23

Right now I’m listening to an audio book called The Big Short by Michael Lewis which follows numerous people intertwined in the 2008 financial crisis. It is a rather upsetting window into the workings of Wall Street and the mortgage bond industry in the early 2000s, especially knowing the devastating impacts it had across the… Continue reading

Climate Change Summits

Posted on April 14, 2021 by psteiner23

Earth day is coming up next week on Thursday, April 22nd. I’m subscribed to a few organizations that send out emails and newsletter related to care for creation and climate change so this week I’ve been getting invites to webinars being hosted on Eartb Day. They are all virtual events, talks, panel discussions and more… Continue reading
