The Catholic Church brings a distinct perspective to the discussion of environmental questions by lifting up the moral dimensions of these issues. This unique contribution is rooted in Catholic social teaching calling us to care for creation. Dr. Laura Anderko, PH.D, RN is a scholar and educator in the fields of public health and environmental health.  She has studied a variety of environmental health topics including climate change and its impact on children.  We welcome her insights to assist us in continuing our care of our common home.
