Global Warming, Carbon Footprints, and Plastic




I am a litterbug!! Yes, I am!! Not constantly but sometimes I throw stuff out the window. Okay, I almost ALWAYS throw stuff out of my window. If I remember to get a trashbag at the carwash then I will use it but alas, with my dementia, that hardly ever happens. So, yeah, I throw it out. I mean, hey, my car is clean and I don't want that crap in it. Which leads me to the whole SAVE THE EARTH campaign. I think we are probably supposed to save the SOULS of the earth by telling them about Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour but I don't know about all that other. You see, I believe that God created the world in six days. I believe that. I also believe that God will destroy the earth in HIS time at the appointed hour. I believe this because the Bible tells me so. (I think they wrote a song with that exact line in it!) I DO NOT believe that God is in heaven ON HIS THRONE walking around with His head in His hands shouting "oh the plastic, the plastic!!" I do not believe He is frantic about smog or gas emissions nor do I believe that He is organizing the angels for a benefit concert to raise money to try to fix the a hole in our ozone!!! He created this earth and I believe that He will destroy it just like He said. I DO NOT believe that we, as mere humans, can interrupt His plan in any way shape form or fashion. Yes, litter is ugly (especially so in my car) and smog and air pollution is dangerous to breathe, and yeah the seasons they seem to be changing. BUT, if you read the Bible, HE told us this was going to happen. He told us these would be signs of the end times (not smog or litter but the earthquakes, tsunami's, and weird weather). In fact, the FACT that He doesn't even MENTION plastic or the ozone comforts me even more. I cringe when I hear someone say "we need to save Mother Earth". Really? The Earth is a mother? How do we know that? Was there DNA testing done? And when I go to the grocery store I want plastic bags and no I don't throw them out the window to snag the trees (that is just stupid, they have groceries in them). If you carry your groceries INTO your house how do those bags get outside anyway? I use them to carry my lunch to school where the bag goes into the trash and I stuff a bunch under my sink to put in my bathroom trash cans. HEY that's called RECYCLING!!! Pardon me while I run out and hug a tree!!! Besides, picking up trash gives the criminally inclined a job when they go to jail so I am also helping provide jobs and boosting the economy and I KNOW people are concerned about that!!! Just trying to do my part!!
