How to green the world's deserts and reverse climate change/ Allan Savory
My mom was the greatest recycler I've ever known. I remember one time, during a visit to my parents place in Hornbrook, CA, that my mom had saved so many packing peanuts that the bed of the old Dodge truck was quite full of various containers of them. My mom, dad, niece Jennifer, and son Jes drove miles and miles to take them to a recycler who wanted them. Other family stories include these -My great aunt and great uncle, Aunty and Beanie, polished their teeth with a clean handkerchief instead of using a toothbrush and toothpaste. My dad straightened used nails and saved them in saved tin cans. My youngest brother, Wayne, carried a reusable water container before everyone started buying water in plastic bottles. One time a child of some of our friends tossed a pop can into Coeur D'Alene Lake. I told him he was a litterbug. He grew up to work in water quality.
As Biblical Christians we read in God's Word Genesis 1:28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” -- So we are to subdue the earth. But that doesn't mean we worship "Mother Nature" or fear that God will allow us to destroy the earth. We have no worries that the earth will be destroyed in 9 years and that we will die. God has told us what he will do with the earth in His time ( Revelation 21:1-27.) We have free will. We can go along with God's plan or we can rebel against it. Here is a link to a blog I found quite informative written by one of Jes's high school friends on this subject.
