Hurricanes ramping from a Category 1 to 5 in mere hours, heat waves scorching our crops and people, flooding displacing millions of people each year, forest fires ripping through our beloved land at increasing heat and speed; we can see how, as Pope Francis wrote, “The world in which we live is collapsing and may be nearing the breaking point” (Laudate Deum, 2). As Gonzaga “educates students to be leaders in service for the common good and to give glory to God,” we are called to reflect upon the ways in which we are investing in the sustainability or collapse of this world in which we are inviting them to lead. While fossil fuels were a powerful force for the common good for many years, we now also know about the catastrophic consequences of their use, and it’s time to re-evaluate our commitment to them, and particularly the companies which continue to make their profit from their extraction and use.
