I am participating in the WCC’s Working Group on Climate Change in Wuppertal, Germany. This is my latest post for The Huffington Post.
A great tragedy of our present time and context is the act of “profiting from destroying the earth.” Individuals and large corporations are making billions from this ecological vandalism. We are constantly taking the earth’s finite resources without replenishing or restoring them. We are wasting and using up our water, causing pollutants to enter our environment, without thinking about the consequences our actions may have on the earth.

One concrete mission of the church is to model, endorse and promote life by revering the world and its entire people and by turning back the kind of uncritical exploitation, which arrived with the modern age, Kim writes.
This is my column for EthicsDaily.com to celebrate Earth Day (April 22, 2013).
Editor’s Note: The following is an excerpt from Grace Ji-Sun Kim’s book “Colonialism, Han and the Transformative Spirit.” Another excerpt appeared previously.

As water bottles fill up our landfills, it will cause more hazardous waste and consume useable land, which will affect our quality of life for now and for the future generation, Kim writes. (PhotoBucket)
