Environmental Matters

Environmental matters are once again in the forefront of our thinking. Our dependence on foreign oil and the resulting higher prices at the gas pump have been a wake up call to the mulititude of issues that are moving us toward ecological disaster. It has been interesting to read the current issue of NEWSWEEK and to learn that a number of Americans are taking conservation seriously. I also hope to see the Tom Brokaw report about global warming Sunday evening. Friends tell me that Al Gore's film, "An Inconvenient Truth" is a must see, also. Remembering that "the earth is the Lord's and the fullness therein", the UMW Action Alert in May, 2006 is a good overview of this climate change issue and what we can do. As enviromentalists tell us, it is the time to reduce, reuse, recycle.
