Avoid participating in throwaway culture
Pope Francis highlights the need for us to avoid throwaway culture to eliminate environmental degradation. There are many ways to partake in this. Even as simple as avoiding trends and participating in more long-term and sustainable means of living is a means to avoid Throwaway culture. Instead of participating in buying or shopping trends, it is more practical to invest in things that will last us a long time.

Care for his creations like how he cares for us
In his encyclical Laudato Si, Pope Francis highlights critical environmental challenges the world currently faces. That being said, he asks all people of Faith to come together to fix the ecological destruction humans have done over the past years. As followers of Christ, we have been given the duty and responsibility of being stewards of His creation. We must actively protect, oversee, and manage all of what He has created, as it is by caring for His creation that we can show love for our God, the Father.

Be firm in one's faith
We should not be tempted with being consumed by the actions of the modern world. Pursuing wealth, power, and success is not evil on its own but having an obsession with achieving this will not glorify God. We have to put God first and foremost before everything else. This means that we listen to His Word and His Commandments.

Live with love through public service
It is important to remember that to live out a Holy life is not simply by praying and attending mass. To live a Holy life is to live a life filled with love. We must not merely do our daily tasks with the goal to finish things, but we must do our daily tasks and actions with the mindset of serving other people out of love.

Live for others
The Lord calls us to involve ourselves in His work of creation and use our gifts for the betterment of all. Our purpose encompasses more than just the work we conduct; it is a path that steers our attention and efforts toward helping others. For the glory of God and the benefit of others, our work drives us to bring out the best in ourselves. We must nurture and grow the entirety of who we are to fulfill our purpose in life. It is associated with discovering who we are in God's presence and allowing our lives to prosper, succeed, and reach out to others.
