Save the Planet?

It has always amazed me how people get so worked up about saving the planet! I am for bamboo bowls and compose piles and think supporting local farmers is right. I like solar energy, and think (don't eat) organic food is terrific. I'm all for more efficient shower heads and clothes dryers to save me moo-la but will it matter in the end? I have not received any fines for littering so know this is not a venting, or vendetta about a ticket or the like. People argue about trash, pollution, and smog but does it matter at all. Save the planet - it is a figure of speech I guess. Go green, drive a Hybrid, burn vegetable oil not petroleum. I'm for recycling but refuse to wear Patagonia's PCR fleece vest ($70) that is made from recycled soda bottles. Oil drillers are getting their ear full these days around the gulf, and here as well. Whales, walruses, snow owls, platypuses, O' my. Know that even if we destroy the O Zone and all of that stuff the planet will still be here - it may be a cold, dead, lifeless rock the way we treat it but it will be here. We should concentrate on saving people. Thant is what God is focused on - seeking to save that which is lost. People need help - need truth, need God. I would trade all the snowy owls in the world for one soul to know Jesus as Lord and I love animals.

Just for the record this planet is going to burn up, aka, be destroyed one day anyhow. God said He was make a new Heaven and a NEW EARTH, and the old Heaven and earth will pass away.Revelations 21:1"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. "

Only those believers that Jesus died and arose from the grave will escape the real pollution- sin.

2 Peter 2:20 "they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ"

Here Peter says the earth will be destroyed in fire:

2 Peter 3:5-7 "For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men."

Get all the Hybrid cars you want, nothing but the blood of Jesus will save you from that day. I don't really care if you hug a tree, hug a bug, or hug your momma , but you had better hug on Jesus first and foremost. Love what is here now (people) and gone tomorrow! People are the only things on planet Earth that have a chance of not burning forever. Save the people not the planet, by getting them to Jesus.
