How To Be A Good Steward
Can taking care of our planet
reflect our faith? If you believe that God put man above all of the
animals and that he gave us a beautiful planet to live on, the
answer is probably yes. God calls us to be good stewards. This
applies to our money, our time, and our belongings. Since the Earth
belongs to us all, it is our responsibility to take care of it. You
might think that what I am saying is ridiculous, but wouldn’t you
want your predecessors to pass on a planet that is usable to you? If
we are not good stewards of our planet, our children and grand
children will not have a nice healthy place to live.
So you might be asking, what can I
do to make a difference? You could start by recycling and by using
products that aren’t loaded with chemicals. You could find more
natural ways to deal with your health ailments like eating right,
exercising, and taking supplements. One of the big problems with all
of the prescription drugs people take is they pee them back into our
water supply. While they are necessary in some instances, I believe
that many of the things people are taking these drugs for can be
solved in better ways. You could carpool to work or ride your
bicycle to work. There are many ways you can act as a good steward
of the Earth.
One thing you may want to consider
is getting solar panels for your home. Looking for
solar panels for sale
is a big initial investment. However, if you take out a loan on your
home to do it, your extra payment may be smaller than your electric
bill. Also, some states have tax incentives that you can take
advantage of. In the long run, this could save you money as
electricity rates rise over time. Imagine once you pay off your loan
how much money you will save every month by eliminating your
electric bill. Plus, fewer pollutants will go into the air from
burning coal or other forms of electricity. While this is only an
option for you if you own your own home, it is something you may
want to consider.
Transportation is another culprit
when it comes to pollution. There are lots of great options on the
market today that pollute less. Many of these may not be economical
for you, but there are things you can do. With all of the Hybrid
vehicles, electric cars, high mpg cars, and
natural gas cars for sale there are many available options
that might be worth looking into. If you live in a warmer climate,
you might choose to ride your bicycle to work on nicer days.
