🌄 Today marks #WorldEnvironmentDay! This year's 🌄 Today marks #WorldEnvironmentDay! This year's theme is biodiversity and highlights that every part is interdependent on one another. We, as humans, depend on nature and nature depends on us to take care of it too. For some ways to take action, check out our "Living Lighter" resources! 💡 Here are just 3 of them: . 1️⃣ Unplug from technology and go explore. Take the church service outside! Host a “Prayer Walk for God’s Creation” at nearby ravines or forests. . 2️⃣ Start a creation care/green committee. Gather like-minded individuals to lead the congregation, plan events, or share resources to raise awareness of caring for God’s creation. . 3️⃣ Make the churchyard a living witness to creation care. Do away with high-maintenance grass and pesticides. Plant native species. Create a vegetable garden and donate the produce to a food bank or shelter. (source: The Green Bible) . The @unep has also put together resources for individuals, faith groups, businesses, cities, schools, and others to learn, share, and act on!
