Focus on Immediate Impact Over Symbolic Actions

Switching to green energy at the diocesan level offers negligible benefits in combating global climate change, as it does not significantly alter worldwide CO2 emissions. While individual efforts are commendable, they are overshadowed by larger emitters, particularly China, whose emissions have grown substantially. Resources devoted to expensive green initiatives might be better allocated towards direct humanitarian efforts, like healthcare for the needy, which yield immediate and tangible benefits for individuals in need.
