LDS Earth Stewardship is a non-profit organization united by the belief that earth stewardship is a gospel principle and gathered for the purpose of exploring and promoting that principle.
Latter-day Saint Earth Stewardship is a nonprofit organization helping LDS members honor God through creation care. Our mission is to explore and promote earth stewardship as a gospel principle, connecting faithful Latter-day Saints with practical tools, environmental education, and a community of fellow stewards committed to caring for God’s creation. From sustainable living tips to ward environmental programs, we’re here to help every Saint become a steward.
Our resource library is a comprehensive collection of all the scriptures and quotes from general authorities regarding the creation of the earth and our responsibility over it. Among other resources there is the Holy Earth Podcast for weekly LDS environmental conversation.
