Description: FROM THE PUBLISHER: What a timely offering This guide outlines fifty ways in which you, your
congregation, and your local community can help fight global warming and enjoy
participation in a vital part of Christian discipleship. 50 Ways to Help Save
the Earth makes a clear connection, in a practical and unintimidating way,
between stewardship of the earth and living one's faith. This easy-to-follow
book consists of seven chapters on topics related to global climate change:
Water, Energy, Transportation, Food and Agriculture, People, Other Species, and
Wilderness and Land Planning. Each chapter begins with a statement on how the
content relates to global warming, followed by seven action items ranging from
individual efforts to activities that encourage the involvement of the
congregational and wider communities. Each action item covers just two pages and
may offer practical suggestions, relevant facts and background material, success
stories, additional sources of information and, when appropriate, scriptural
references to help bridge the gap between what we believe and how we live. For
added encouragement, a Walking the Talk section is included, featuring examples
of ways in which a person or faith community has made a difference. With
illustrations throughout, Rebecca Barnes-Davies's book offers a lighthearted way
to address global warming while teaching us to reshape our lives to honorrather
than destroy God's creation.
