Happy Earth Day!

Hope you're having a great Earth Day 2009! Haven't jumped on that bandwagon yet? Think global warming is a hoax? Think taking care of the earth is a leftist political agenda?

Think again.

My view is that scripture is pretty clear that we are to steward the earth. Not abusing God's creation is pretty straightforward to me.

Moreover, why should some of God's children have better access to clean air or water than others? This is an issue of justice. Christians ought to be concerned with how the earth's limited resources are distributed.

It's a love issue too. If I love all my neighbors on earth, then I'll help take care of our environment. If I love my kids and my grandkids, then I'll help preserve the earth and make efficient use of our resources.

A few months ago I blogged about a class where we discussed Christian responsibility to the environment. Those discussions listed in reverse order here.

How are you helping use resources efficiently?
