Chevalier Family Committee for Justice and Peace.  First Friday of December 2020.

Fr Andre Claessens MSC, one of the General Assistants at Via Asmara, Chevalier Family Justice and Peace, writes:

What can we do?

For 2 years now, in our first Friday campaign for the Chevalier family, we have been giving tips to change our behavior personally and collectively. We will continue to do so next year. In the spring of 2021, the Jubilee for the Earth program will also unfold a 7-year plan to bring about sustainable change. Every citizen can contribute to reducing the ecological footprint: insulate buildings, use cars and planes less, and travel more by public transport or by bicycle or on foot, so we use less fossil fuels, eat less (red) meat and eat more vegetables, local and seasonal products. Investing more in renewable energy by promoting solar panels and wind turbines, etc. ...

Billions of euros and dollars will be needed to revitalise the world economy after covid. This is the right time to make the right choices. Thanks to the coronavirus, we have had to press the ‘pause’ button. It would be wise not to simply press ‘play’ again, without wondering what direction we need to take in order to give our common home a future! What will policymakers decide at COP26 in Glasgow in 2021? Will there be more political courage than in the past? Will the pandemic have taught them something about justice, vulnerability, sustainability, fraternity and social friendship ?
