ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP Environment stewardship aligns with our purpose of serving because climate change affects the poorest among us the greatest.  Over one billion people live in severe poverty and rising food costs will be devastating to these poor commu- nities.  For many, they only eat what they can grow and they only earn what they can sell. Lower food availability will not only lead to an increase in malnutrition, leaving people susceptible to disease but also takes away their ability to make a living selling their extra harvest. 4 AREAS OF FOCUS OUR JOURNEY TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE ENERGY FOOD WASTE WASTE TRANSPORTATION By being better stewards of the environment, we are protecting the resources people depend on for their livelihood which in turn is another way we can serve to make lives better.
