Thise are some great ideas Frank. I have recently become a vegetarian. Not because I don’t like meat, I wouldn’t even consider myself an animal lover. But I couldn’t standby when I realise how exactly the meat was produced that we get in our supermarkets.

One thing I have done this year, is phase out wearing labeled clothing. I get t-shirts from an op-shop that have no printing on them, and create my own designs on them.

I also think awareness of how things are produced is a good place to start as well. It would also be helpful to gather with a group of friends and collectively encourage each other, waste less, recycle more and research how the products we consume are made.

Great question! The answers are the same whether climate change is an issue or not.

The answers – cycle or use more public transport. Where these are not available or dangerous, communities and nations need to work on making them more accessible. Cut some meat out of our diets. Focus on a life that produces less waste – set yourself a challenge to reduce your rubbish. Buy local produce etc etc.

Nations could look at subsidizing work that goes into developing technologies around renewable energy rather than pumping money into trading in carbon credits.

The possibilities are huge, it just takes a bit of creativity.

I personally need to be working on it a little more – heck, taking up cycling to and from work has paid off huge dividends. Not only does it help the environment a little more, but it’s helped me lose weight and get fitter!

Any ideas you can think of?

I especially liked this part of what you said:

I’ve learned from experience that redeeming anything requires sacrificing ourselves, because if we’re not prepared to do that we become slaves to the endless demands of a pride-filled and sin-driven ego.

The only real answer to the problem of anthropogenic climate change is to sacrifice our extravagant lifestyles for the greater good. I’ve learned from experience that redeeming anything requires sacrificing ourselves, because if we’re not prepared to do that we become slaves to the endless demands of a pride-filled and sin-driven ego. Once again, Jesus shows us the way.
