Corinthians 1:13 says love is patient. This Christian virtue is also very useful to environmentalists. It takes patience to be green and to reduce your impact on the planet. Here are some reasons why:
- It takes patience to grow food in your backyard garden
- It takes patience to grow plants organically
- It takes patience to cook from scratch
- It takes patience to find products with as little packaging as possible
- It takes patience to learn about and buy ethical products
- It takes patience to learn how to reduce your environmental impact
- It takes patience to gently shepherd an insect out of your home instead of killing it
- It takes patience to work with animals
- It takes patience to walk through the bush
- It takes patience to participate in weeding your local reserve
- It takes patience to convince your church to become greener
- It takes patience to find the best deal on solar panels
- It takes patience to read books about environmental issues and keep up with the news
- It takes patience to wait for the government to act on environmental issues like climate change
Patience is an indispensible virtue for the Christian Environmentalist.
