Stewardship In The Bible
The message of stewardship in the bible.

The bible has multiple stories of stewardship. The message for stewardship is to be responsible, accountable and to look after something. Stewardship is an ethic for managing and planning responsibilities. Being a steward can be involved with you at school, home, with your freinds and around the local community. God said to Adam that he was to be the ‘steward’ and was to look after the land that he was given, this bible reference links to the common society where we are still to look after the environment.

These have links in between each other. The Touchstone ‘Justice and Solidarity’ states that we are called to stand in solidarity with those who are marginalised and the Earth itself (Touchstones). This means that we are to look after those in need and the natural environment of our community our school and all the areas around us. This links to stewardship, which is to take care of and to look after something, because to care for other and look after others we have to be a steward of creation and a steward of environment. This is an important link because Stewardship and Justice and Solidarity are both important key factors of life that we need to live out.

    Recycling has been a well known idea for so many years, but now we need it more than ever. Now in the world there are so many problems with the environment like Global Warming, toxic waste, and not to mention not recycling is very costly but recycling reduces the landfill space, helps conserves natural resources, and reduces the production of greenhouse gases . When you recycle you also help save animals so the rims of a six pack of soda doesn’t end up blocking a fish's gills or a plastic bag getting eaten by a turtle and having it choke on the bag. Recycling can also be a group effort where you get a group of people from your community, school, church, job, or just you and your friends so not only your saving the environment but your having fun with people you know while doing it.…

    Recycling and waste prevention are two very important ways to help address the issues of the environment concerning climate change. Recycling is a very beneficial factor that more individuals need to exercise in order to improve the environment’s pollution, reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, and save energy and natural resources that are used to produce products from virgin materials rather than from recycled materials, which uses less energy and produces less harmful pollution. Recycling has many benefits that helps improve the earth’s conditions. Waste prevention and recycling are real ways to address these problems and begin to make a change. Recycling turns materials that would otherwise become waste into valuable resources, reducing the amount of natural resources needed to produce these same products. Collecting your used bottles, cans, and newspapers and taking them to a recycling bin or collection facility is just the first step, in a series of steps that generates a host of financial, environmental, and social returns. These benefits accrue locally as well as globally. Recycling protects and expands United States manufacturing jobs and increases United States competitiveness by creating more recycling jobs and facilities within the United States and producing more of our own products with recycled materials and being less dependent on outside countries and companies for these products. Recycling prevents pollution caused by the manufacturing of products from virgin materials.…

    The first step is to collect recyclables at a drop off center within the complex. The center should be located near the trash dumpster so residents can make one trip with all their waste. The drop off center should be able to hold the most common household recyclables: plastic, cardboard, and newspaper. Second, we need to recognize the barriers to participation and how to successfully promote residents to accept recycling behaviors. We can design brochures with information about how recycling can benefit the environment. Residents should be informed of the recycling process, the cost benefits, and the reduction of waste in our…

    EFFECTS OF GEOGRAPHICS AND RECYCLING Abstract Research was conducted to determine if recycling participation is affected based on where an individual lives and/or where they grew up. Many psychological and sociological studies have looked into the human behavior of recycling; what drives an individual to recycle and what are the key components to a successful recycling program. Results have shown that people with access to a structured recycling program have much higher levels of recycling than do people lacking such access. Furthermore, individual attitudes toward the environment affect recycling behavior only in the community with easy access to a structured recycling program.…
