>> The Green Bible for god-fearing environmentalists is printed with soy-based inks on FSC-certified paper — with eco-ish verses highlighted by a forest-green font. Writes Evangelical eco-activist J. Matthew Sleeth in the intro: “creation care is at the very core of our Christian walk.
>> Green, Inc. slams big enviro orgs as corruptions within the green movement. However, Mark Pawlosky points out in his review of the book in Grist: “MacDonald’s accusations are many and sweeping, but, for the most part, neither original nor revealing” — nor supported by specific examples, for that matter. “MacDonald wants the reader to accept her premise that the environmental movement has been irreparably corrupted merely because of corporate partnerships — i.e., guilt by association.”
>> The Cali bill to put a 25 cent fee on disposable plastic bags dies, thanks to strange, personal power plays between Cali assembly members. I guess for now, anti-plastic-bag enviros will have to look to local governments.
>> IKEA’s officially bagged the disposable bag, as it promised back in April. Your options now: BYOB, buy YO reusable B, or go bagless altogether.

Hi, my name is Dustin and I work with a Christian environmental organization called Christians in Conservation: A Rocha USA. I noticed that you mentioned Dr. Matthew Sleeth in your post, and I thought that you might like to know that our organization sponsors him as a “creation care evangelist.” We would love for you to check us out at our website, en.arocha.org/usa. You might also be interested the website for Dr. Sleeth’s book “Serve God, Save the Planet,” which can be found at http://www.servegodsavetheplanet.org.
