It's nice to see that some christians have some ecological awareness. I also appreciated the Pope's Laudato Si' encyclical of 2014. He links the issues we are facing, albeit from a more religious perspective.
@blackraven; concerning the water bottles.. there are of course ways to counter that easily, with non-plastic bottles that one can use for tapping water. You only need to wash it once a week or so, but it is not made from plastic so no micro-plastics in your body either. It is increasingly common in my country and there's basically almost never a reason for me to buy water. |
Thanks for the link, Altair. I personally don't buy bottled water. I live on a well and refill glass bottles after the well water is filtered through an R.O. system.
This is a convenience society, at least in the country I live in and instead of bringing water from home when out, lots of people just pop into the convenient store or gas station and get bottled water. When I'm at the grocery store I see people buying bottled water by 48 bottles at a time. Just makes me think about whether or not they're recycling. Hopefully. Sorry for always responding with 'declining state of nature' responses only without adding the 'Spiritual communities' side of the topic of your thread.
