At times people are very aware of the environmental issues but they choose not to do something about it. He emphasized that taking action is something many Pacific Islanders struggle with. He also added that another challenge is the failure to make use of the resources available. &#8220;We&#8217;ve provided resources using the funds received from various donors, but the big question is how people are utilizing those resources, since, in the end, those resources are for their benefit.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcc.org.fj\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/wilfer-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"666\" height=\"940\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pcc.org.fj\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/wilfer-1.jpg 666w, https:\/\/www.pcc.org.fj\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/wilfer-1-213x300.jpg 213w, https:\/\/www.pcc.org.fj\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/wilfer-1-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 666px) 100vw, 666px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Caption:<\/strong> Mr. Wilfer Rigamoto, Ecological Stewardship Officer<\/p>\n<p>For the Pacific Conference of Churches. <strong>Picture:<\/strong> Milinia Katonitabua<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The environment has been severely impacted, especially in Pacific Island countries. However, my department is very grateful to the member churches and generous donors who have consistently contributed financially and offered support. The plan we follow each year is based on a long-standing tradition. It typically runs from September until the 4th of this month, during which we celebrate the annual Season of Creation, focusing on the importance of creation. As part of the Stewardship Program, our role is to provide resources, which are funded by the world community. We then adapt these resources to suit the specific needs of our region. During this event, we advocate against the excessive use of fossil fuels, as it is a major contributor to the environmental crisis, he said.<\/p>\n<p>After October, the Stewardship Department typically prepares for the Green Christmas project. This initiative involves collecting trash for reuse, aiming to help people reconsider their use of plastics and other items that harm the environment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If we don\u2019t take action on the environmental crisis, who will?&#8221; Mr. Rigamoto said. This pressing question underscores the department&#8217;s commitment to combating ecological challenges. The team is dedicating significant efforts to further research and will continue to provide essential resources. Initiatives include planting mangroves and collecting trash, with regular updates sent to member churches to ensure transparency, he said. \u00a0This way, congregations can see that their support is making a meaningful impact, benefiting those who truly need assistance.<\/p>\n<p>The department aims to achieve its goals by providing comprehensive information to member churches, ensuring they are informed about ongoing developments. Member churches are among our strongest supporters, and their involvement is invaluable to our programs. We appreciate working with them, as their support has been instrumental in our efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Comes a times, children ask what actions we have taken regarding these issues, and if we have not done anything, it feels like we will lying to them in that one moment. The environmental crisis has arisen as development has progressed in our region. With that, Mr. Rigamoto urged the people of the Pacific to consider not only their own needs but also the future. &#8220;If we don&#8217;t take action now, who will safeguard the environment for our children?&#8221; he emphasized.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The environment is like our sibling, meaning humans and nature are deeply connected to each other.&#8221; The Ecumenical Enabler for the Stewardship Program&#8217;s Ecological Department at the Pacific Conference of Churches is now taking a stand to combat the environmental crisis in the Pacific region. \u00a0 &#8220;We in the Pacific [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2322","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog-post"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.0 -
