Up to 12 billion tons of plastic trash end up in God’s oceans. Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN) maintains that trash is an affront to the glory of God. Trash eventually ends up someplace, and that someplace belongs to God. In order to put a stop to this waste, EEN has created The Last Straw Campaign Pledge. This pledge urges individuals to decline straws at restaurants and other food/beverage establishments, and avoid purchasing for home use. Additional steps of advocacy that one can take include asking local restaurants to only provide straws when customers request them and asking elected officials at the local and state levels to phase out the use of plastic straws, and single-use plastic.
This Care for Creation Check List is a conversation created by the nonprofit organization New Community Project. The Care for Creation Check List is meant to be read between two people or performed as a skit. One person reads the Genesis creation account while another person uses the list to gauge how other species are doing during the Age of Humans.
