Tip of the Week: Strategies for a Healthy Planet

Most of mankind are experts at denying the validity of scary information, for example, that there is little time left to reverse global warming.

For the sake of our grandchildren we must heed these warnings. We as individuals, as corporations and as governments must do all we can to heal this endangered planet.

Purpose of the Earth Stewards Ministry

CCPC takes seriously the mandate from our General Assembly to act immediately and boldly to reduce the threats from climate change. As Christians we have been charged to care for creation, and to act on the biblical promise to restore right relationships between God, human beings and the rest of creation. In June 2006 the national church called on all Presbyterians to lead the way in reducing our energy usage and to make a bold witness by seeking to lead carbon neutral lives. A carbon-neutral life is one in which we reduce energy consumption that releases carbon dioxide and other green house gases as far as possible and buy carbon offsets to make up for those that we cannot eliminate.

In order to make the list as user friendly as possible those who write e-mail messages should put “EARTH STEWARDS”; in the message line, followed by the issue they are dealing with. Then if this is not of interest you can delete. We will use it to keep you informed about political issues in the news, actions you can take around your home, ways to green our church and so forth.
