210. Whereas in the beginning it [environmental education] was mainly centred on scientific information, consciousness-raising and the prevention of environmental risks, it tends now to include a critique of the “myths” of a modernity grounded in a utilitarian mindset (individualism, unlimited progress, competition, consumerism, the unregulated market).
Reflection
What are the “myths” we tell ourselves about the way the world works? In his Lenten message, Pope Francis calls us to “open our eyes to reality” and make Lent "a season of conversion, a time of freedom.” Read the whole message.
Action
Talk to someone about Pope Francis’ Lenten message. Respond to his calls to action.
