| Tenth Query: Stewardship of the
Environment |
Is the Meeting concerned that human interaction with
nature be responsible, guided by a reverence for life and a sense of the
splendor of God's continuing creation?
Are the decisions of the Meeting and its committees relating to the uses
of Property, goods, services, and energy made with sensitivity toward the
environmental impact of those choices?
How does our Meeting learn about environmental concerns and then act in
the community on its concerns?
How am I helping to develop a social, economic, and political system which
will nurture an environment which sustains and enriches life for all?
• Am I aware
of the place of water, air, and soil in my life? Do I consider with care
the necessity of purchasing substances hazardous to the environment?
• Do I act as
a faithful steward of the environment in the use and disposal of such
hazardous substances?
• Do
I choose with care the use of technology and devices that truly simplify
and add quality to my life without adding an undue burden to essential
resources?
