Dear Mr. Pruitt,
`-C
ocr
(Greetings! I know that you are very busy getting settled in your new office. What
an awesome responsibility you have to help Preserve the EARTH as its biosphere is
beginning to implode. However, I am sending you this encyclical (letter) by Pope
Francis, LAUDATO SI On Care OF O u r Common Home, as it is a Call to each of
us to do something to preserve our Earth and our time is limited..
Perhaps you know or don't know that our Biosphere is Imploding. Trees all o\er the world are dying and already dead, bees are dying, as well as bushes and plants. Our oceans are coming acidic and marine ecosystems are collnpsng around the world. C 0 2 in our atmosphere and also the chemical toxic trails that arc being sprayed around the world is causing this decimation.
Before it is TOO LATE we have to ACT in Behalf of the EARTH. Fossil fuels have to be stopped from burning and spewing ( 0 2 into the atmosphere. PLEASE do all you can to Preserve the EARTH for all of us. All the monies in the world will not matter when the EARTH will not support Life any more.
As a heads up, I am sending yon this copy of Pope Francis' encyclical (letter) LAUDATO SI, On ( are Of O ur Common Home. Something SOON has to be done for our EARTH, before it is TOO LATE. Please do all you can to tell Mr. President that our biosphere is imploding., .lust google Trees Die OFF.
For decades now our climate has been tampered with known as weather modification. Each day toxic chemical trails are being sprayed in our sky to block the sun's rays from reaching the EARTH. Just google Geoengineering the EARTH and you will be amazed.
In Chapter 4 w hich is the heart of the encyclical, you will notice that Care for our Earth includes the Political, the Economic, the Social and the Spiritual. This is
Pope Francis' contribution to the conversation on climate change.
You will also notice in C hapter 4, that Pope Francis mentions that indigenous peoples' lands should be respected which would include water which was not done regarding the Dakota Access Pipeline.
Our best regards and thanks to you for all that you will do to preserve the Farth for all of us Soon before it is too late.

Francis
