The planet is in crisis. You hear it everywhere you turn. The news is filled with stories of global warming, dying oceans, vanishing species, and receding ice packs. Whether or not you believe in climate change it is clear something is happening. Many of us continue to life as though our choices have no impact on the earth. I certainly am guilty of being thoughtless in that regard.
Today I listened to someone talk about these issues and what we can do about them. He also talked about environmental issues being spiritual issues. The questions that are raised are: what are humans for, how do we live together in harmony, and how do we live with respect for creation? They are soul issues. Being stewards of creation speaks to who we are in relationship to the Creator. It is different way of looking at environmental concerns. I have to take a serious look at all my choices including food, recycling, carbon print etc. Certainly something to ponder.
