From the Evangelical Environmental Network (http://www.creationcare.org):
Did you know that both chambers of Congress have introduced bipartisan legislation to address the critical backlog of maintenance needs in our National Parks? We are asking you to join us in thanking your Representatives and Senators who have already sponsored these bills and encourage those who haven’t to support them.
Take action at http://www.congressweb.com/nrpe/25/.
Our National Parks have never been more popular, with 331 million visitors last year. But such popularity has helped to exacerbate a growing problem: a huge backlog of nearly $12 billion in needed maintenance. Why should people of faith care about park maintenance?
Experiencing the beauty and grandeur of nature is a profound spiritual experience for many. It reminds us of our Creator. As the Bible says: “How many are your works, Lord! In wisdom you made them all”; and “In His hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to Him”; and “The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof.” (Psalms 104:24, 95:4 and 24:1).
