As a college student, your actions not only impact the world today, but you are the voice of tomorrow. You are the future, and all you are doing makes a difference!
At the NAE, we believe that caring for God's creation isn't just a good idea, it is a biblical mandate (see Point 7 of "For the Health of the Nation"). We were created by God to bring him glory. What a better way than caring for the world he gave us. We can all make a difference.
So, do you believe the Bible calls us to care for creation? Are you or someone you know working to take care of the environment? Do you have thoughts about God's creation that you would like to share? We would love to hear from you! Submit a video about creation care that touches on these questions, and you could win up to $2,000! Your job is to share and motivate!
