Harvest a Healthy Future: Celebrate and Strengthen the Faith and collective commitment to grow and cultivate a healthy culture
Celebrate and Strengthen the Faith and collective commitment to grow and cultivate a healthy culture
Throughout the world, April 22 has been celebrated (annually) to support environmental advocacies and to help raise awareness for the need to protect and care for our planet. Its importance as celebrated is to strongly warn us to deeply reflect on how we interact with Mother Earth and its finite resources.
(“And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.”– Genesis 2:15, KJV)
Mixed with wars and violent conflicts, global warming intensified and brought the lives on Earth to the edge – long droughts, strong typhoons and cyclones, hunger rise, earthquakes and tremors, north pole melting, and nations sinking.
It is the responsibility of the rational being (human) to be accountable for our actions and rethink our way to begin anew with a deeper understanding of our roles.
We
were reminded to live in harmony with nature, with our neighbor, with
ourselves and the Creator, and let peace exist inside and outside us.
But this must be a collective effort of all denominations and social
organizations.
Our faiths should always be understood that as stewards we have a contract with the Creator, and we are called upon now to do our part. Earth Day is always a good opportunity to revitalize and improve our commitment to our common home – the Earth.
(“As every man hath received the gift, even so, minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” – 1 Peter 4:10, KJV)
It should be understood as experienced across the world that this is an Ecological Crisis and we are beyond warming now. The world is boiling if not drowning.
We may do little things in our own little way to mitigate the effects and causes but we must hurry more than ever to save Mother Earth and us all.
Individuals, homes, neighborhoods, schools, churches, and the world can make a big difference on different levels. Let us be an inspiration to many like us.
Here are several ideas we can undertake to protect Earth, our only home:
• Pray and advocate for all of God’s creation.
• Launch discussions, education, and orientations on ways one can make a difference with family members and friends.
• Make a commitment with fellow advocates and as a community organize climate actions
• Engage the policy and decision-making social, economic, and political institutions and push for ecological reforms and programs
• Observe practices and best practices in waste management and sustainable resource utilization
• Help strengthen the local economy and improve the local consumer and producer solidarity.
• Grow native trees in your lawns, farms, streets, school, and church grounds partnering with local groups to take good care of it. Defend the local and traditional seeds, build food forests and parks, and share among neighbors.
• Stop buying and use of single-use containers and start carrying your own container.
• Grow food ethically and practice ecological technologies from ridges to the reefs.
• Revitalize the social contract between the Creator and you as a Steward of the creation.
As a community of God’s children and believers, we are more than required to take actions necessary to save the Earth and the lives on it more than urgent.
