Ecology

Green Building

NETWORK strongly supports individual, corporate and governmental actions that help support (or renew) healthy ecosystems. The homes in which we live tell much about our environmental values.

Platform for the Common Good

During the 2008 election season, as the political parties developed their political platforms, many Catholics groups came together to develop a Platform for the Common Good.  This platform is based on principles from Catholic social tradition and addresses what we can do to make our nation “a more perfect union” focused on the common good.

Ecology

The Catholic Social Teaching principle of stewardship of God’s creation generates a special responsibility in our use of material things: the production, transport, sale and disposal of goods must be respectful of ecological systems and all that depends on those systems. This is also a requirement for our own survival: we simply cannot live without clean air, clean water and a healthy environment.

Issues

NETWORK’s issue agenda for the 111th Congress is based on the Platform for the Common Good. In 2008, we invited groups around the country to identify issues that were important to them. We received responses from thousands of people.
