creation-care

Silhouette of a person kneeling before rows of plastic bottles arranged like a church organ.
"A ritual of creation-care, offering prayers to a holy array—only to send the collection straight to the landfill."
Faith & Philosophy

Description

Creation-care is humanity’s thesaurus for earning divine environmental credits through performative virtue. It involves staging a show of conscience on Earth’s grand theater, hoping to bask in the heavenly spotlight. Beneath the sacred pretext, one must find fulfillment in the heroic single-use plastic straw ban. Finally, the grand finale is the recycling of guilt itself.
