Get Involved: Climate Change
Here's What You Can Do: Get Involved! Make the Difference! 
As people of faith, it is important to know how the impacts of modern living can be a desecration of God’s creation. Now that you have learned about the issues and their impact, do just one small thing to get involved and make a change for the better. It can be as simple as planting one tree or as big as purchasing an electric car. Sometimes it can be difficult to know what to do luckily, for a person of faith, it is easy to simplify – Do no harm to God’s glorious creation!
