Without these active steps the recycling facility that is to be built on campus will not improve our poor recycling record. Stewardship is a complex idea that permeates every aspect of our lives. At the heart of stewardship is how we are supposed to live in our relationships with God, each other, and the Creation. In our fallen and broken state we can never live perfectly in these relationships. Yet, as Reformed Christians, the students, faculty and staff who make up Calvin College have a responsibility to try to live in good relationships with Creation.
Stewardship is the result of trying to live in right relationships.
Recycling, among other earth friendly things, is what we do when we are stewards. We need to start acting like stewards.
