The New Evangelicalism and Restoring Eden

Evangelicalism is changing! It is taking Environmental stewardship seriously! Check out this self-proclaimed grassroots movement within the church called Restoring Eden: Christian for Environmental Stewardship.

A balloon without red, blue, or yellow color looks clear or transparent. Sea creatures mistake these colorless, clear balloons for food. The clear balloons then get stuck inside of these animals and cause all sorts of internal problems that usually result in starvation and death.
