Walk For Creation! (May 8-25, 2010)
April 28, 2010
As a prelude to the National Day of Prayer for Creation Care, join us for the Creation Care Walk.
From May 8th to May 25th we will walk from Ansted, West Virginia to Washington, DC. Along the journey we will be praying for our broken world and for the people who have been affected by our poor stewardship. As we pass mountaintop removal sites, national forests, farms, and suburbs, we will be meeting with local congregations and schools to share stories and practical biblical opportunities for engagement. We will end in DC in time for the Day of Prayer events.
Come for all or just a part of the 18-day event: some of us will walk the entire distance, while others will join for a day, a weekend, or a longer period of time. There is no cost to participate and we only ask that you take care of your own lunches. Please let us know if your church, student organization, or ministry would like to send a representative or a group.
To sign up, just click on the “Sign Up To Walk” link on the Prayer for Creation Care website. As we begin the week you will be able to follow us live on the site’s blog.
USGS study- US freshwater streams and their fish contain higher levels of mercury
March 5, 2010
According to a new study by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), fish from U.S. freshwater streams appear to be universally contaminated with the neurotoxin mercury.
The article linked below explains, “All fish were contaminated with mercury, more than 66 percent of them at levels higher than those set by the Environmental Protection agency as a ‘level of concern for fish-eating mammals,’ according to Reuters. More than 25 percent of the fish were contaminated at levels higher than those set as the threshold for human consumption.”
