Abstract

The article presents pastoral tasks of parishes in Poland in the field of ecology. Environmental degradation first and foremostly affects people. Since it is human activity that contributes to the devastation of nature, the most effective way to protect the environment seem to be actions undertaken in parishes and on the territory where their members live. The first task consists in raising environmental awareness among parishioners, followed by ecological conversion and change their daily lifestyle. The article presents some practical guidelines regarding specific actions proposed in parishes for the protection of the environment in Poland, with particular emphasis on the protection of human life from conception to natural death.
