Mission Statement:

The Earth Stewardship Committee, as a standing committee of the church, holds as its primary concern the identification and promotion of human accountability and responsible behavior toward the earth and its resources in individual, church and community life.

Goal:

The Earth Stewardship Committee was established to address the call for environmental stewardship throughout the world in response to Doctrine and Covenants 150:7 "The land is being desecrated by the thoughtless waste of vital resources. You must obey my commandments and be in the forefront of those who would mediate this needless destruction while there is yet day." The committee recognizes the need to foster greater sensitivity toward God's earth through a deeper understanding of human interrelatedness to and dependence on the earth. The committee will promote changes and embrace practices that result in a sustainable environment. The committee will help the church become more aware of the issues related to the environmentally sound policies and procedures.
