This ’how-to’ presentation includes a short video clip that tracks a day in the life of a community in Curitba, Brazilian how this community has ‘conspired’ (i.e., co-inspired) a movement within Brazil as well as initiatives in places such as Birmingham, UK.

Besides telling the story of the movement “Do meu lixo cuido eu,” this presentation offers practical insights and action steps for embracing creation care as a crucial activity that 1) honors the Creator, 2) restores our desire for community, and 3) extends ’signs of salvation’ to a world suffering from so-called ‘multiple sustainability crises’.
