(2) Now, faced as we are with global environmental deterioration, I wish to address every person living on this planet. In my Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Gaudium, I wrote to all the members of the Church with the aim of encouraging ongojng missionary renewal. In this Encyclical, I would like to enter into dialogue with all people about our common home. (3) It is our humble conviction that the divine and the human meet in the smallest detail in the seamless garment of God's creation, in the last speck of dust of our planet. (Patriarch Bartholomew) (9) Francis: He was a mystic and a pilgrim... He shows us just how inseparable the bond is between concern for nature, justice for the poor, commitment to society, and interior peace. (10) Rather than a problem to be solved, the world is a joyful mystery... (12) The earth, our home, is beginning to look more and more like an immense pile of filth. (21) Climate as a common good: Humanity is called to recognise the need for changes of lifestyle, production and consumption, in order to combat this warming or at least the human causes which produce or aggravate it. (23) Decline in the quality of human life and the breakdown of society: Human beings too are creatures of this world, enjoying a right to life and happiness, and endowed with unique dignity. So we cannot fail to consider the effects on people’s lives of environmental deterioration, current models of development and the throwaway culture. (43) Laudato Si’
