Abstract

The idea of stewardship, which emphasizes the duty to look after and safeguard the Earth, has its roots in Christian teachings. In light of the circular economy, this article investigates the application of a community “TAKA project†that fosters stewardship. As a strategy for attaining sustainable growth and protecting the environment, the circular economy is garnering more and more attention. Businesses and individuals must align their operations and consumption habits to minimize or eradicate waste and pollution, while also recycling products and resources to restore the ecosystem. As stewards of the planet, humans must accept responsibility for the environment if the circular economy model is to be successfully implemented, which calls for community cooperation. This study examines the execution of a community “TAKA project†that addresses sustainable development in the local community and protects the environment by promoting stewardship through circularity principles. Through sustainable consumption and production, this TAKA project seeks to inform and include the local community, particularly schools. Pope Francis’ call to transform our “throw-away culture†is closely linked to the Christian concept of stewardship and its relationship to the circular economy. It highlights the significance of sustainable development and responsible resource management, which is in line with the biblical call to care for God’s creation by embracing the circular economy’s principles and actively participating in the community to reduce resource depletion and environmental degradation.
