This presentation explores the interconnectedness of freshwater ecosystems with the land surrounding them. Participants will learn about the ways in which human activities on the land eventually affect rivers and lakes, and what we can do as individuals and communities to protect our water resources from pollution and habitat degradation. Methods for conserving water will also be discussed. Field trips to local watersheds can be arranged to explore a particular issue of concern, or to conduct a stream cleanup. This seminar begins with a summary of the key environmental issues facing us in the 21st Century, and introduces the students to the careers that are available in such areas as natural resources management, water resources, waste management, pollution prevention, and others.
Creation includes human beings, other living organisms, and the ecosystems that support life.
This seminar is geared toward congregations, small group fellowships, and youth groups that are interested in exploring the biblical basis for environmental stewardship, and how the church can become more involved in caring for God's creation as an act of worship and obedience.
