Laudato si’ is Pope Francis’s 2015 encyclical that discusses issues about our environment, and how we can care for it. It covers environmental issues such as global warming and climate change, pollution, loss of biodiversity, decline of human life, global inequality, and many more.

It then what we can do and how we can properly respond to these issues, especially now that technology is evolving. In the encyclical, the Holy Father also teaches us why we have to take care of our environment and how we can improve our lifestyle to help the world get better and heal.
