“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”

Plan activities to LOVE the EARTH.   We all need to learn to care for God’s earth.

Here are some fun family projects to actively LOVE OUR WORLD.

• Check to make sure that you know where your recycle bin is!   Look through your house and garage and recycle your extra plastic, aluminum, milk cartons etc.
• Collect and stack newspapers, magazines and even old telephone books
• Plan a GARAGE SALE to RECYCLE YOUR EXTRAS as someone else’s TREASURES and donate the money to a local charity
• Make a SWEET EARTH dessert for the family.  You’ll need one tortilla for every family member, cream cheese, knife, blue and green decorating sugar, tape and a picture of the earth or a globe.  Set the picture or globe on the table.  THEN COMES THE FUN!  Spread the cream cheese over the entire tortilla. Sprinkle to colored sugar on the tortilla to make your own EATABLE GLOBE.
• GO on a TRASH WALK.  Places to go – up and down your alley, up and down your street, the church building or church grounds!   Celebrate with SNOW CONES.
• Pledge to turn out the lights in a room when you leave it.
• Invite your family to carpool.  Dad and Mom to work.  Going to ballet.  Going to soccer practice.  Going to art class.
•  Investigate where to recycle batteries and electronics.
