There are over 116,000 fast food chain stores around the world. The majority of people in the world eat these chains’ food each year, with common ingredients being meat, cheese, wheat, corn, oil, and sugar.
The homogeneity in diet worldwide has contributed to a dramatic decline in the biodiversity of food crops, which the UN cites as a threat to global food security.
This has also led to a dramatic decline in individual health.
Partly as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, cities are exploring how to permanently block off more areas for walkers and bikers traveling to work or getting outdoors after work and on weekends.
Less traffic and cleaner air reduce many kinds of human health risk from both accidents, pollution, and communicable disease.
Individually, these very same choices can reduce personal stress and keep us more fit as well.
“Almost as soon as I began reading, I knew that the Eco Bible would be a long term companion for me as I work to care for God’s creation and encourage other people of faith to do the same. Most communities of environmentalists I’ve encountered are heavily burdened by grim predictions of the future, which create an atmosphere of pessimism and disillusionment. What is unique to a Biblical perspective is hope, the “knowledge that we can choose; that we can learn from our mistakes and act differently next time.” The focus of environmentalism in the Eco Bible is completely different from a secular sense of hopelessness: here there is a spiritual conviction that we can and must turn from our destructive actions and live as we were created to: in peaceful, mutually beneficial flourishing with all that is.”
