“…'For every action of man, there is a consequence,
good or bad'…"
"If you love the creator, take care of His creation," Restoring
Eden founder Peter Illyn advised Samford University students during a
special Earth Day convocation on April 22.
Illyn's remarks came during a day devoted to environmental awareness
and stewardship.
Elsewhere on campus, exhibits sponsored by student and community groups
highlighted sometimes surprising connections between academic subjects
and environmental stewardship. Jerry de Bin, chief of information and
education for the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural resources,
made similar points the night before during a lecture sponsored by Samford's
Vulcan Materials Center for Environmental Stewardship and Education.
"No matter what your major or your job,” de Bin said, “there
is a direct connection with natural resources." He also warned of
the consequences of poor stewardship. "There is an end to resources," he
said. "For every action of man, there is a consequence, good or
bad."
