    *Integral ecologists,* a term coined by Pope Francis in Laudato Si, are ecologists and environmental advocates who understand that our environmental crisis can't be solved through science alone. We must adopt a collaborative approach and understand the problem from multiple perspectives. This collaboration between Loyola University's Department of Theology and the Institute of Environmental Sustainability features six speakers who will detail certain practices and ideas within their respective religious communities that respond to today's ecological crisis and draws from and enriches the scientific wisdom needed to heal the Earth.

    Join us as we welcome Dr. Hugh Nicholson for his discussion on Buddhism, Science, and Nature.
