Pollution from cars hurts people and the rest of God's creation. Driving impacts human health, contributes to global warming, and increases our reliance on oil from unstable countries and environmentally sensitive areas. Making transportation choices that threaten millions of human beings violates Jesus' basic commandments: "Love your neighbor as yourself" (Mk. 12:30-31); and "Do to others as you would have them do to you" (Lk. 6:31). In making my transportation choices with the Risen Lord Jesus, I believe He wants me to travel in ways that reduce pollution and consumption of gasoline.<br><br><br><br>
Confessing Jesus Christ to be my Savior and Lord, including Lord of my transportation choices, I pledge the following.<br><br><br><br>
o\tI will organize my life so that it is easier and more desirable to walk, bike, car pool, and use public transportation.<br><br>
o\tIf I need to purchase a vehicle, I will choose the most fuel efficient and least polluting vehicle available that truly fits my needs.<br><br>
o\tI will discuss with others the moral concerns and solutions associated with transportation.<br><br>
o\tI will encourage automobile manufacturers to produce the most fuel-efficient and least polluting vehicles possible that truly fit the needs of the American people.<br><br>
o\tI will urge government leaders to support public transportation, a significant increase in fuel economy standards, and research and development for promising new transportation technologies that reduce pollution and increase fuel efficiency.<br><br>
"/end quote"<br><br><br><br>
Im not Christian (anymore) but can go along with a lot of this.<br><br><br><br>
What do you think?
