Renewal for the whole earth
What will it take for the renewal that really secures a healthy environment?
Originally published online on June 9, 2022
New strength and health for our lives and our environment is a project for us all. In college, I got a taste of this while working with fellow students to start a recycling program. Later, I got further involved while working with engineers around the world on environmentally friendly home appliances. Today, I’m giving much thought to an improvement that’s more basic: What will it take for the renewal that really secures a healthy environment?
The answer begins with something that happens individually—something that, if we can commit to it, will bring about a grand change collectively. It’s a renewal that’s essentially in thought and fundamentally spiritual. More God-inspired thinking does so much good. It brings about positive changes in everything.
