The Global Latter-day Saint Community on Earth Stewardship
#EverySaintASteward
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.

As the only missionaries currently in Nepal, we cannot share the gospel of Jesus Christ or even wear missionary name tags because of government restrictions. However, generous humanitarian contributions from families all over the world are fulfilling Christ’s second great commandment to “love thy neighbor as thyself.” These contributions are making access to reliable and convenient water possible.

Today, my intention is to live simply, more directed toward benefiting our global environment, thus advocating for an enhanced quality of life for a greater number of people, volunteering my efforts and sharing my rewards, ultimately offering the possibility of a healthier, kinder world.

On or about April 22, people around the world will celebrate Earth Day, affirming the importance of caring for the natural world in all its marvelous beauty and complexity, protecting the air we breathe and the water we drink. Latter-day Saints will be among those celebrants because we know that caring for the earth is more than a practical necessity; we recognize that stewardship for the earth is a sacred assignment.
