...Action(S) Should Christians Take Regarding The Environment And Its Preser Abstract Christian are required by God's law to obey the laws of man. Furthermore, the United States Government has Federal and State organization that will help protect our environment. There are many ways that Christian can protect the earth's environment and restore the earth national resources. For an example, Christians could recycle many natural resources; buy vehicles that are more efficient and not being wasteful is all very important. Christians cannot be disillusioned that everyone thinks the same way and there viewpoint are the same. There are many non-Christians that belief that there is a need protect the earth and we will have endless supplies of natural resources. Finally, Christians realize that efforts to protect the earth may not be enough, so we must prepare and plan to restore natural resources. As Christian followers of God, we must educate others about conserving the earth's natural resources. What Specific Action(S) Should Christians Take Regarding The Environment And Its Preservation Or Restoration? Could you imagine Jesus Christ driving a car that is not environmental friendly? According to the Christian faith, Jesus Christ was the only perfect person that ever lived on the earth that was perfect. Therefore, Christians understand that to be Christ like, it would mean Christian would have to preserve the environment and if necessary contribute to the restoration...

Now think about if you had gone outside just like the first time, as in weather, but all you could smell was an environmentally devastating chemical that you had sprayed on your flower bed and your grass and the air was filled with the scent of chemicals that will eventually kill us.

...Environment - how can you help to protect it? Environment is an important part of human life and a healthy environment is a must for human existence. Therefore, it is crucial that we take care of our surroundings and help nature maintain ecological balance so that we could hand over to the coming generations the environment as we found it, if not any better. Our planet is changing. There are a lot of things that affect our planet in a bad way but the good news is that everyone can help to reduce them and do their bit for the environment. While exploring six important topics that affect our community : Electricity (Energy), Pollution, Food, Water, Rubbish, Rainforest, I'll present the damage and a list of ways that we can all contribute to help our planet get better. 1. Electricity Energy is everywhere. We use energy to move the mouse for a computer, to jump and shout and walk and run. It takes energy to power a light bulb, and the light that the bulb gives off is also a form of energy. Other forms of energy include heat, chemical energy, gravitational energy and nuclear power. Electricity is a form of energy and this is what powers the TV, the kettle, dishwasher, hairdryer, toaster, remote control, mobile phone, fridge, stereo, electric toothbrush, and more. Our growing need for energy is one of the problems facing the world today, because producing electricity also produces our next topic - pollution. How to help? When you’re using electricity think about where it comes from...

...impactful reasons the environment is suffering, the 1st I feel comes from human population. The increase in human population adds to the problem being that we use various resources that are considered to be harmful to the environment. As the population increases so does usage as well as demand for more innovative ways that can keep up with these demands. People naturally pollute the environment, there are things in place that help to offset and educate around this however the issue still remains. “Factories are another cause of pollution, with factories in operation the pollutants that come from them are harmful to not only our air space but the eco system overall” (Robert J. Carson 2016). There have been a lot of factories shut down as a result of this; however it seems that machines continue to take over in place of manual labor jobs in order to cut cost. Industrialization exist solely on the basis of convenience, there is more focus on how to get something done quickly instead of safer. Sprays such a deodorants and various aerosols have an effect on the environment too such as the ozone layer. The various things that I described all help to provide convenience, however this comes at a cost to our environment that we live in as these shorts cuts hurt or echo system. The convenience is great; the realization is that our planet is slowly suffering so there are now stricter regulations that help to control these things. Looking at the ways this impacted the environment, let take a look...

We as Canadian citizens are extremely fortunate to have a safe environment, with endless opportunities, and countless other things. Civics highlights the importance of our actions and their results. 2. In Canada, we live in a democratic society. This means that our government is comprised of elected officials who represent our voices. What makes democracy so unique is that regardless of your gender, race, income etc. every person has an equal vote in how our country is governed. In Canada we are fortunate to have the ability to speak freely and express all opinions. Democracies understand that their main function is to uphold all basic human rights such as freedom of speech, religion, language etc. In addition, in a democracy everyone has the right to equal protection to the same legal procedure. In Canada, we are fortunate to have the ability to contribute to our democratic society making it equally important that we are performing these duties. 3....

So what is forest planning and how does it function? Normally people don't realize from the property in term of financial gain, long term enjoyment and what could related to the environmental. A good forest management plan can be very successfully to helps countries to reach their goals in term of nature environmental issue.

It can help to protect you as a nation, landowners from liabilities associated with the impacts of timber harvesting and other forest activities both on. A good proper planning can protect the nature environment and the mother resources on earth that we all share, such as water quality, air and beauty scenery.

...Shameka Conway Professor Kuhta English 122 11 October 2015 Natural World Responsibility Natural resources are what we need every day to survive such as air, water and food. Because we rely so heavily on these resources, it is our duty to protect them and ensure they are not depleted. The naturalist’s perception is that we must preserve our resources before they are diminished. The human race will become extinct if our resources are depleted. We obtain our food from plants and animals, our drinking water comes from rivers, and clean air is also needed to breath. If the plants and animals die we no longer have food, and if the rivers dry up we won’t have water. However in today’s world we have forgotten how important those resources are. We can’t survive without them. Although we have a right and responsibility to protect our resources, many may feel we have minimal power or free will to do so. “And if the wilderness is our true home, and if it is threatened with invasion, pillage and destruction-as it currently is- then we have the right to defend that home, as we would our’ private quarters, by whatever means are necessary.”(Abbey 349). We have a divine human right to protect our home but we must not hurt each other in the process. “Eco-defense is risky but sporting; unauthorized but fun; illegal but ethically imperative. “ (Abbey 349). “Spike those trees; you won’t hurt them; they’ll be grateful for the protection; and you may save the forest. Loggers hate nails.” (Abbey...

Some people claim that human has the right to act and that nature is here just to satisfy human desires and needs. In the other hand, there is a group of people who state that this argument sound egoist because we are not the only species living in this world and we should share this earth with species. “Individuals can not be used as merely as a means to the end- there are ends in themselves” Kant basic ideas here are that persons have the position to make rational choice about their own lives. They have moral autonomy and fee will. This fact about person confers dignity upon them. They command respect. To treat people as a mean to some other end, be it own welfare or that of others, it is fail to...

...been made” (John 1:3 New International Version). The environment is something that we as humans often take for granted. Making up everything that surrounds us, you would think that more of our population would take this blessing into more consideration. The actions we take for our environment do not compare to those taken against it. With it being a Christian’s responsibility to preserve and protect this God given Earth, we shall always try our hardest to fulfill his expectations. Sure we can put our recycling bins out on the curb once a week or maybe even pick up trash we see in our parks (which the average person refuses to do), but I feel that we need to take more responsibility and create a more healthy environment. We need to take charge and start promoting a more all-around environment conscious lifestyle to keep this blessing that God gave to us alive. Statistics have shown that the effects humans have on Earth are ever-growing and if we don’t change our ways now, who knows what the future may be like. The toll for not being “green” will definitely have a detrimental effect on us and our next generations. Environmental issues are growing before our eyes. Coral reefs are losing life which causes fish to have to survive without shelter, bees are disappearing leaving a huge dent in our food production, and the list goes on. Most people don't really hear about these issues due to the fact that it's hardly ever broadcasted. How can we learn and find solutions if the people aren't...

...definition of environmental sustainability is “to maintain the qualities that are valued in the physical environment”. This definition is weak because it doesn’t talk about the natural environment. The strong part of this definition however, is it defines how me need to protect the physical environment. There are many manmade lakes that help maintain the natural environment. Small Biz Connect definition is “Environmental sustainability involves making decisions and taking action that are in the interests of protecting the natural world, with particular emphasis on preserving the capability of the environment to support human life. Again, this definition is weak because it only focuses on the human life. It mentions nothing about preserving the natural or physical environment as well. The strong part of this definition is that it does cover human life. When I think of environmental sustainability, my definition is to protect and maintain the physical and natural environments as well as protecting human life. It is something that is done to help ensure that we don’t run out of our natural environment such as trees and animals. Limiting the amount of hunting, fishing, and cutting down of trees is a few of the ways we can maintain environmental sustainability. 2. The Tragedy of the Commons is related to the environmental sustainability because they both are trying to protect resources. The Tragedy of the Commons is protecting public places from running out of resources such...

...made to the environmental science and that have led to a better understanding of the Earth’s environment and our place in it, I have found out a lot of interesting information. I have found how women have made major contributions to the environmental service, boy scouts making contributions and some famous scientists who have made contributions. It was very interesting because I had never known that our environment is so important and that many people have had major impacts on it. I found it very interesting to see how the Boy Scouts of America have made some important contributions to environmental services. Many of the troops engage in trash collection and cleanup projects. They also follow the Leave No Trace laws while on camp-outs and other outdoor activities. These are young boys who care about the environment they live in and do whatever it is to help out. I think it’s so important for younger children to know about our environment. Our generations are becoming so tech savvy that it is unbelievable, instead of children helping out, they are using technology as an excuse that they can’t do any outdoor activities or helping change the environment we live in. Boy Scouts of America have made major contributions dating back to the 1700’s all the way until today. To be honest, I would have never known this if I didn’t do any research. I think it is so important to keep our environment clean and picking up trash for a good cause and it is such an amazing thing that we have people...
