Caring for Gods Creation

• When you  recycle one aluminum can you save enough energy to run s televisio for three hours.
• By recycling just one glass bottle, you save enough electricity to power a hundred watt bulb for four hours. 
• On average a US citizen recycles 338 pounds of paper per year.

• you probably sense that life has a meaning because your life has a meaning. Your study, hard work, self-discipline, and desire to develop your taents all mean something because they help you become the person God created you to be. Contemprary arguments based on your opennses to several of the following elements of your humanity are other ways to lead you to God:
• Beauty and truth
• Moral goodness, voice on concience, and freedom
• love and intelligence
