As children of God, we have a divine responsibility to care for the earth. When God created the earth, he entrusted us with stewardship over its resources. As stewards, we must preserve the land and protect resources for future generations. Wise stewardship involves small acts, like picking up trash, or larger projects, like starting a recycling program. The Church also recognizes its role in being environmentally responsible through green building initiatives and conservation efforts. All of creation declares there is a God, and as his children we should honor our role as stewards of this beautiful planet.

S ynopsis (200250 Words)
In the first book of Genesis, God pauses after each new creation and admires it as good (Genesis 1:1). [https://www.lds.org/scriptures/ot/gen/1.1,26?lang=eng] As the recipients of Gods earth, we are responsible to take the time to admire its beauty and preserve its resources. By doing so, we act in our divine calling as stewards over the earth. Your stewardship As stewards of the earth, we are accountable for our use of its resources. Stewards are to preserve resources and protect for future generations the spiritual and temporal blessings of nature (Gospel Topics). God has given us the opportunity to care for and preserve the earth. Stewardship does not equal ownership. Being a wise steward can be as simple as picking up trash on the side of the road, or as complex as starting a community recycling project. Wise stewards are aware and involved. The Churchs stewardship The Church recognizes the role of stewardship in Gods plan and strives to conserve energy and natural resources. The Church implements green building initiatives, water conservation efforts, and recycling projects. Let us keep the earth beautiful and clean, so that as we look upon it, we too can call it good.

it
might
add
some
variety

switch
up

Maybe
When

I
liked
this
idea
from
the
article:
The earth is endowed with an array of natural resources that will provide for the human family if they are used as the Lord instructed. You could end by saying something like The earth has enough resources for everyone as long as we take care of it the way the Lord intended. Find out more about being a good steward.

could
incorporate

You

Then
