Finally! Some “Green” Actions that Make Sense

I have been pretty critical of the popular environmental movement, which often seems more for show than for effect. However, there are some activities that I recently became aware of that actually make sense. As I have said before, I am not against being a good steward of Creation. It’s just that most of the “Go Green” movement is either hype, or treats Creation as more important that human welfare.

However, combating the “throw away society” has always made sense to me. I recently read about a movement to use refillable containers to purchase grocery items, it really resonated with me. Refillable milk jars, washable containers for meats and vegetables (instead of plastic and styrofoam), and purchasing fresh foods instead of pre-packaged are a few ways the article mentioned to do this. Reducing the amount of garbage my household produces seems like good stewardship to me.
