On Saturday, I participated in my church's community road clean-up. You would be shocked to see how much garbage was littered among the ditches and along the side of the road.

The problem is that we forget sometimes that the earth is the Lord's. We need to help the environment, and keep it clean and healthy. The roadside clean-up was just one thing that I could do to help preserve the earth's natural beauty.
"The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens." (Proverbs 3:19) The Lord made this earth for us as a blessing; let's take care of it! Here's three ways to help the environment:

- By first and foremost appreciating the earth and its natural beauty and recognizing the blessing and the Creator.
- By recycling.
- By NOT LITTERING!
