Every day, the equivalent of 2,000 garbage trucks full of plastic are dumped into the world's oceans, rivers, and lakes. Plastic pollution is a global problem. It can alter habitats and natural processes, reducing ecosystems’ ability to adapt to climate change, directly affecting millions of people’s livelihoods, food production capabilities and social well-being.

Led by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) since 1973, World Environment Day is celebrated annually on June 5th. This year, it calls for collective action to tackle plastic pollution. By drawing inspiration from nature and showcasing real-world solutions, the campaign will encourage individuals, organizations, industries, and governments to adopt sustainable practices that drive systemic change.

Countries worldwide are currently negotiating an international legally binding agreement to end plastic pollution, with negotiations set to continue in August 2025. The LSC encourages you on this to swipe through, learn more about plastic pollution, and become a positive catalyst to create a better tomorrow, today.

The LSC was happy to sponsor and attend the Interfaith Conference Environmental Action Summit. The summit was organized by the Interfaith Environmental Action Network (IEAN), a new project of the Justice Center at All Peoples.

The IEAN is building a vibrant network for the faith community to share resources, exchange lessons learned, and collaborate toward greater environmental sustainability and justice. Here are some pics from the event!

Attention friends and supporters!

The LSC is taking a brief pause to recalibrate and enhance our programs to better serve the community. This time will allow us to refine our initiatives and come back stronger with new ideas and improvements.

We appreciate your continued support and patience during this period and are excited to share our progress with you soon.

Thank YOU for being a part of the LSC's journey! We'll see you soon.
