"Show a loving consideration for all creatures"
“We do not own the world, and its riches are not ours to dispose of at
will. Show a loving consideration for all creatures, and seek to maintain
the beauty and variety of the world. Work to ensure that our increasing
power over nature is used responsibly, with reverence for life. Rejoice in the
splendour of God’s continuing creation.” Advices & queries, 1994, No.42
We share the DNA structure of all life on Earth. The atoms in our bodies
have circulated throughout the network of living and non-living forms
making up the universe. Much of what we do, directly or indirectly,
leaves the natural world damaged. Do you accept your responsibility for
minimising this damage?
"investigating renewable sources of energy"
“Remember your responsibilities as a citizen for the conduct of local, national, and international affairs. Do not shrink from the time and effort your involvement may demand.” Advices & queries #34
Saving heat in the home can be done with improved insulation but
reducing the temperature, area and time of heating is also important. Do you dress warmly enough and encourage others to do so too? Consider investigating renewable sources of energy for your home. Cars and aeroplanes use irreplaceable fossil fuel, pollute the air and are major and increasing contributors to global warming. Could you reduce your use of these modes of transport? Consider this particularly when planning holidays or a change of home or occupation.
