Man Has 'Slapped Nature in the Face'

"I don't know if it (human activity) is the only cause, but mostly, in great part, it is man who has slapped nature in the face," he said.  " We have in a sense taken over nature. I think we have exploited nature too much," Francis said, citing deforestation and mono-culture. "Thanks be to God that today there are voices, so many people who are speaking out about it."

The Four Cardinal Virtues:

        Prudence
        Justice
        Temperance
        Fortitude              

Use these virtues in your everyday being towards the planet and all our fellow beings that we share the planet with.  Be one of the voices Francis talks about.  I am not Catholic but I respect and admire this man.
