Two important mission-related events will be back-to-back on Wednesday, March 20 with the Office of Mission Integration’s monthly liturgy and lunch followed by a talk and discussion on “Climate Change Mitigation via Informed Sustainable Human Behavior.”
The liturgy and lunch is set for noon in the St. Ignatius Chapel with Fr. Patrick Kelly, SJ, presiding and Sr. Judy Mouch, RSM, offering the reflection on a theme related to UDM’s educational mission. There will be a pizza lunch afterwards in the Commerce and Finance Building, Room 213.
After lunch at 1:15 p.m., also in Room 213, Jason Giovannettone, Director of Climate and Sustainability for the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas, will give a talk and host a discussion about “Climate Change Mitigation via Informed Sustainable Human Behavior.”
Giovannettone will speak about the Sisters of Mercy’s efforts on assessing current carbon emissions throughout all SMA campuses, and finding ways to reduce future emissions due to energy usage, fleet vehicles, and long-distance travel. He’ll also look at our current consumption of single-use plastics and composting/recycling programs. For each of these, he will stress informed decision-making focused on knowing the true effects of our efforts to become more sustainable.
