As part of our Millennium Development Goals St Francis decided to focus on MDG #7 ~ Ensure environmental sustainability. This goal focuses on Integrating the principles of sustainable development into country policies and programs and reversing the loss of environmental resources.

During the convention reusable bags were given to each parish. Included in the bags was helpful information on plastic bags and how they affect the environment. A CD was included that contained a powerful PowerPoint presentation delegates can share with their parishes.

Expanding the project to Wayne County, members of the Outreach Team shared information with other churches, sold insulated shopping bags at cost, and presented a resolution to the County of Wayne Commissioners which they adopted.
