Environmentalists and Evangelicals ---- bedfellows?
It makes good sense if you think about it - REAL Christians are going to love God's creation and care for it, not be bamboozled into letting Bush-ites buy it, sell it, exploit it, and pollute it.
Kojo's show is probably the best thing on public radio in the world. This episode is fantastic, because you can hear the evangelicals speaking more openly and honestly about what seem to me to be real Christian principles - not spouting republican talking points in exchange for political power.
He makes some great points about how simple things, such as choosing to put 5 energy star light bulbs in your house in place of regular ones saves significant energy - and how if every household did that it would have the same net effect as removing 8 million cars from the roadway in terms of preventing pollution from energy production. WOW.
Consider that - what minor inconvenience have you taken on in order to do something positive for the planet?
Today I was a real gym-goer and walked from the gym to the grocery store (at the other end of the strip mall) to get a few items, and walked back to my car, parked in front of the gym. Inconvenient, but saved gas. Little things like that make a difference.
