My disobedience is sealed up in a bag. – Job 14:17 The Problem with Plastic Bags Single-use plastic bags may seem small, but they cause huge problems. They take hundreds of years to break down, pollute our land and oceans, and harm wildlife. Sea turtles, birds, and fish often mistake them for food, leading to suffering and death. Proverbs 12:10 reminds us that “the righteous care for the needs of their animals”—shouldn’t we do the same? Loving Our Neighbor Plastic pollution also impacts people, especially in poorer communities where waste piles up in landfills and waterways. This can lead to flooding. As followers of Christ, we are called to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:31). Choosing reusable bags helps reduce waste and protect those who are most affected by pollution. Small Actions, Big Impact Bringing your own bag may seem small, but small actions done in faith can change the world. Jesus taught that even tiny mustard seeds can grow into something great (Matthew 17:20). By making sustainable choices, we set an example of love, responsibility, and faithfulness.Let’s honor God by protecting the beautiful world He created. Next time you go shopping, bring your own bag—it’s a simple way to live out your faith! 🌿♻️
