Spread the message keep Earth Sabbath

---

 We need to save energy this helps combat climate change and helps the environment because most power sources produce pollution or greenhouse gases when burned. The less energy   used, the less pollution there will be in the air and water, harming our planet and its inhabitants. When it comes to saving the environment, your daily decisions may feel insignificant but they are not, and reducing energy consumption by one seventh by keeping an Earth Sabbath day one day a week would have a positive impact on our environment and help with the environmental crisis we are currently faced with.  Be a solution to the problem keep a weekly Earth Sabbath day and reduce the amount of energy you use. 

If we all reduced our driving, shopping, business, one day a week this would reduce energy consumption by one-seventh, we'd pollute that much less. We'd have to avoid energy-guzzling leisure activities, so maybe no the long drives or movie marathons one day a week. Still, we need to leave out the work and traffic and leave only that that must go on – 

hospitals, police, emerg services one day a week for the earth to rest

When we speak of the “environment”, what we really mean is a relationship 

existing between nature and the society which lives in it. Nature cannot be 

regarded as something separate from ourselves or as a mere setting in which we live. We are part of nature, included in it and thus in constant interaction 

with it…

Pope Francis, Laudato Si

It's time to reflect on the Earth and have a heartfelt desire to help it.

One way is by giving the environment a rest on one day a week  This will require

personal sacrifice but you will find delight in giving the earth a rest one day a week 

Start the rest properly by preparing your heart for it the night before, be aware of your relationship to the world around you, nature and people. Be aware of the harm we've done to our environment and recognize that your rest allows the earth to rest allowing it to heal and rejeveunate itself.

Why keep rest  one day a week every week

1.  To remind us of our limitations and our need for the earth.    I am not 

self-sufficient in the slightest, needing food, water, a home, and rest. 

I need to press pause on my life and redirect and remember that observing a 

rest one day a week reminds me that I am limited, which is a very good thing

because it compels me to keep the rest allowing the earth to rest 

2.  To put us in our place. The earth is a provider  and apart from it we would not be able to survive.  . It is utterly essential to everything that is and was and is to come.   Observing a rest reminds me that the earth is needed for my life, and I need to have a good relationship with it.

3.  Rest.  I need rest, and so does the earth

Earth Sabbath rest day to show brotherly and sisterly love in our common goals 

to protect the earth and our Resouces with everyone taking part showing love 

and respect for our environment.  With the whole world taking part in a day 

of rest for the environment one day a week every week  With a goal of making the earth cleaner and helping it to restore itself.

Every effort to protect and improve our world will entail changes in everyones lifestyles and eventually programs and structures which are in our communities.  We are asked to replace consumption with sacrifice one day a week.  This is a way of gradually moving towards what the Earth needs as a way of sharing and participating with our neighbors on a global scale for a common goal and purpose of humanity working together to preserve our common home.  Young people demand change.  They wonder how anyone can build a better future without action on everyone's part to help solve the environmental crisis.  This movement is one way to get started on real lifestyle change with real results involving everyone's participation.  All of us can cooperate as instruments of care giving the earth a rest one day a week for the environment according to their own culture, religion, experiences, involvements and talents.  This participation would involve every person and lead to affecting lifestyles internationally.  This goal is to take what is happening to the world into our own personal life's and do something about it and be a part of solveing our environmental crisis.  An awareness of the gravity of today's cultural and environmental crisis must be actioned into new habits by everyone of a day of rest one day a week for the Earth.

There is a nobility in the duty to care for our common home through our daily 

actions and creating this movement and educating others can bring about 

real changes in lifestyle affecting the world around us and meeting the 

needs of what our earth needs a weekly rest.

Our efforts in this movement will promote a new way of thinking about 

human beings, life, society and our relationship with nature and our 

environment  So what we all need is to be aware of the environment and supporting the day of rest with actions evolving in people's relationship 

with the world around them. We all need a heartfelt desire to change our 

lifestyle and rest, giving the earth a rest one day a week. We have done so much damage we need to achieve reconciliation we must examine our lives and acknowledge the ways we have harmed the environment through our actions and do something about it. Thus the Earth Sabbath day one day a week.

  Its a personal sacrifice but needed.
