Renovate! 21 December 2019 – Saturday
12/21/19 • 6 min
This is the end of the third week of this Advent season where we are linking bible passages for the day with the Sustainable Development Goals that 193 countries adopted to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all as part of a new sustainable development agenda to be achieved by 2030.
Today's quotation is from Psalms 33:3
"Sing to him a new canticle, sing well unto him with a loud noise.
The hymn may then be defined as a metrical or rhythmical praise of God; and the psalm, accompanied sacred song or canticle, either taken from the Psalms or from some less authoritative source (St. Augustine declaring that a canticle may be without a psalm but not a psalm without a canticle).
The Canticle of Creation Center (CoCC) is a new pilot endeavor of the Sisters of St. Francis of Dubuque initiated in 2017 as one way to share our Franciscan legacy of striving to live in right relationship with all creation.
OUR VISION:
Canticle of Creation Center:
An Earth Sanctuary of Solitude and Study
OUR MISSION:
Honoring our Franciscan heritage that All is Gift and in a spirit of gratitude, we are committed to live in right relationship with all creation, by:
- Cherishing and caring for the land entrusted to us

- Strengthening awareness of the interconnectedness of all life
- Fostering learning, reflection, respite and healing through individual and shared experiences with creation
- Collaborating wherever possible, modeling nature’s web of interrelationships

The Deadly Sins of Sustainability - 22 December 2019 – Sunday
This is the beginning of the Fourth week of Advent, The idea behind this Podcast is that by linking Spiritually to Sustainability, I can provide inspiration for both prayer and reflection as we work together toward a more sustainable world. A world that I believe god wants us to create.
Today's quotations are from Matthew 1:21
"And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name JESUS. For he shall save his people from their sins."
Nelson Mandela said: “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.”
1. Lacking emotion – missing the emotional connection with the audience
2. Too emotional – filling consumers with a sense of fear or failure
3. Too technical, or wonky – using language that is incomprehensible
4. Jargon-y – lazy thinking and lazy copywriting; jargons need translating into everyday terms 5. Ambiguous – either from a lack of clarity of ideas, or from ideas that are just too big for people to understand, let alone knowing how to act
6. Being just like everybody else – digging into brand insights is the only real way to find a story that is different from competitors
7. Disconnected – does the brand have a consistent story across everything and are employees bought into it?
Sins of Greenwashing
Greenwashing is the act of misleading consumers regarding the environmental practices of a company or the environmental benefits of a product or service. There are more green products than ever before, and our Sins of Greenwashing tips can help you sort out the truly green products from the not-so-green ones.
From <https://www.ul.com/insights/sins-greenwashing>
Today, the Sins of Greenwashing remain a popular learning tool to help consumers evaluate sustainability claims. Contact us for permission to highlight the Sins of Greenwashing in publications and media.
Sin of the hidden trade-off
A claim suggesting that a product is green based on a narrow set of attributes without attention to other important environmental issues. Paper, for example, is not necessarily environmentally preferable because it comes from a sustainably harvested forest. Other important environmental issues in the paper-making process, such as greenhouse gas emissions or chlorine use in bleaching, may be equally important.
Sin #1: Sin of the Hidden Trade Off
This sin is committed by suggesting a product is ‘green’ based on one or two attributes while ignoring other important environmental issues.
Paper, for example, is not necessarily environmentally-preferable just because it comes from a sustainably-harvested forest. Other important environmental issues in the paper-making process, including energy, greenhouse gas emissions, and water and air pollution, may be equally or more significant.
