We love that Planet Earth series, along with the Discovery Channel one.

I've been amused by the fact that people who believe in evolution (which has an element of survival of the fittest) take more time to care about creation than Christians (who believe God created the earth and humans are the care-takers). That's a gross generalization with many exceptions, obviously.

I'm lucky enough to live in a community that supports recycling of all things plastic and paper. I also take my own re-used shopping bags to the grocery store. (Though I've had to start keeping them in the car lest I forget!)

For me, it's looking at the big picture--not how will my one recycled piece of paper make a difference, which often feels useless,  but how will all of my actions contribute to God's kingdom work or restoring good on His earth.

One book I've been looking forward to reading--For the Beauty of the Earth by Steven Bouma-Prediger (Baker).
