The real things haven’t changed, it is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong.

From the Green Team:

The most environmentally friendly thing you can do with soft plastics (especially single-use plastics) is reduce your consumption of them. Simple changes like carrying a reusable water bottle or coffee cup can significantly cut down plastic waste. You could also opt for reusable shopping bags and choose products with minimal or no plastic packaging.

Words of Wisdom:

While it looks like things are out of control, behind the scenes there is a God who has not surrendered authority. ~A.W. Tozer

From the Green Team:

What is the problem with gas emissions? As greenhouse gas emissions blanket the earth, they trap the sun's heat. This leads to global warming and climate change. The world is now warming faster than at any point in recorded history. Warmer temperatures over time are changing weather patterns and disrupting the usual balance of nature.
