SUSTAINING CREATION

48 STEPS TO LIVING SUSTAINABLY—ACTIONS WE CAN ALL TAKE

I took a break last month with our list of ways to live sustainably, as outlined by Dr. Terry Gallagher. But we’re ready to go now in 2019 and we are now officially in the “Getting in Deeper” column, which means that these suggestions may be a little harder for us to accomplish, but we can start and keep trying! As far as “Lifestyle” goes, Dr. Gallagher has 4 suggestions in the “Getting in Deeper” category:

17. Skip the Christmas presents (uh-oh, too late) and use the money instead to help a poorer family save some energy this year through improving their home’s insulation or lighting.
18. Shop local farm markets. Food is healthier when it doesn’t travel thousands of miles.
19. Add a second or even a third “meatless” day to weekly schedule or give up red meat entirely as it has triple the cost of early resources.
20. Use your social media platforms and contacts to spread the critical message of sustainability.

Next month, we’ll look at two suggestions for transportation! Thanks for considering these ideas to keep God’s planet healthier and sustainable.
