  - Single-use plastics are a big money-maker for the fossil fuel industry. 
  - They created the triangle symbol to make us think plastics will recycle, even though that can’t easily be done. 
  - Manufacturers choose not to invest in recycled packaging and materials. 
  - Virgin materials mined from Earth are cheaper and often subsidized. 
  - Technology exists to eliminate most of the greenhouse gas emissions they cause. 
  - It’s time to fight for the truth and take matters into our own hands. What we buy and how it’s made affects how well “reduce, reuse, and recycle” works. Using the power of our voices and wallets, we can make corporations change how they do business. 
  - They answer to us, the people who buy their products and invest in their stock. 
  - We can insist they take responsibility for the damage they cause.  
  - We have the power to fight climate change at home and in our cities. 
  - I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to leave the health and well-being of my family in the hands of people who I hope will figure this mess out. 
  - We all need to change for the better of our planet and our lives. 
  - There are alternatives to buying disposable goods and packaging. 
  - Buy durable goods and reusable packaging to save money and the planet.  
  - Reduce and reuse packaging. First, eliminate plastic shopping bags.  
  - We can do things differently to change our eating and buying habits.

  Keeping Place - Reflections on...

  To be human is to long for home. Home is our most fundamental human longing. And for many of us homesickness is a nagging place of grief. This book connects that desire and disappointment with the story of the Bible, helping us to see that there is a homemaking God with wide arms of welcome—and a church commissioned with this same work. "Many of us seem to be recovering the sacred, if ordinary, beauty of place," writes author Jen Pollock Michel. "Perhaps we're reading along with Wendell Berry, falling in love with Berry's small-town barber and Jayber Crow's small-town life. . . . Or maybe we're simply reading our Bibles better, discovering that while we might wish to flatten Scripture to serve our didactic purposes, it rises up in flesh and sinew, muscle and bone: God's holy story is written in the lives of people and their places." Including a five-session discussion guide and paired with a companion DVD, Keeping Place offers hope to the wanderer, help to the stranded, and a new vision of what it means to live today with our longings for eternal home.
