Religious Power Point Presentations

Dear person who sent me the religious power point presentation in a mass email:

Thanks for the lovely message over the most immaculate scenes of our planet, with the gorgeous voice of a women singing.

I get the religious message about caring for one another and it’s all nice and fuzzy, but why doesn’t the church, Christianity, Christians and people in general, embrace what keeps us alive – our planet? Has anyone heard a sermon about how important the planet is?
The power point presentation asks for blessings. How about we send one about keeping one another and our generations to come – alive?

We do need caring loving people to keep the peace but if we don’t have a planet then we won’t have caring, loving people to populate it.

It takes a little bit of sacrifice in our day-to-day lives to make some serious change. Here are a few suggestions, please feel free to add more, and if I had time I would also put it in a power point presentation and ask that you all forward it to everyone you know in the next 10 seconds in order to have your wish come true.

Recycle: Separate the paper, aluminum cans, glass bottles, biodegradables and trash. Even if it all goes in the same trash can, at least the biodegradable trash inside a biodegradable bag will decompose in a few days. Plus I think it makes you so much more self-conscious of all the trash that you are throwing away that won’t decompose in our life time.

Don’t use single use plastic utensils, plates, or cups.

Don’t get a to-go box in styrofoam. Avoid take-out meals. Cook at home. Use reusable bags at the store. Ask your grocers to use biodegradable plastic bags in the fruit and vegetable department. We used to use reusable milk containers and jars – let’s go back to that. In Mexico people bring the glass bottles back to recycle. Why don’t we do that here?

Start using biodegradable bags.

Choose glass over plastic.

Write letters to the grocery stores and the makers of your favorite products, that are not using recyclable materials and ask that they do.

Going back to the voice of a woman – (generally speaking) the more thoughtful, considerate, loving creature, of the two humans. (I realize that I"m totally biased in this matter)

Let’s all be that thoughtful, considerate, loving creature, we can be and pass this message along, because god only knows we need a planet. I’d prefer a nice clean one. Recycle.


Keeping it green,
s
