Father Silveira stressed that ``caring for the common home is not just a private enterprise, as young people`s lives are constantly being impacted by what the environment is going through, but it is also a bounden duty to fight on their behalf for a safe and sustainable future by making young people themselves stakeholders and co-partners in responding to this urgent need of the hour.`` The participants appreciated Father Silveira for the clarity with which he has led everyone to understand, in a typical Salesian manner, that caring for the common home is not disconnected from caring for young people, because as Salesians want them and their generations to have a safe and sustainable future. The Salesians have to make efforts in achieving this goal without which they run the risk of total extinction in a short while from now.
