If the human race as a whole fail to awaken to this last-minute danger and do not change our traditional production and life model immediately, the entire natural ecology will collapse within fifteen (15) to twenty (20) years, and the human race will all be in great danger.
During the last eight years, Lifechanyuan has been actively engaged in the exploration of and experimentation with a new production and life model, and has found a way to solve the conflict between natural resources and human consumption.

This document discusses how we deal with physical rubbish in our homes by placing it in bins to be collected and recycled or buried, whereas we cannot simply dispose of our inner "rubbish" called sin in the same way. It notes that Jesus is like a rubbish collector for our sins - we can give our sins to him to take away, just as he came to take away the sins of the world. The document encourages putting one's trust in Jesus to take away personal sin through his death and resurrection.

Questa newsletter offre svariati spunti di riflessione: dalla presentazione della nuova Commissione Federmanager per la messa a punto di soluzioni innovative per la salute, alla crescente necessità di un secondo pilastro a sostegno del Sistema sanitario nazionale. Del resto, come emerge da un’indagine che riportiamo in questa newsletter, sono sempre più gli italiani che si indebitano per curarsi. Ulteriori elementi di analisi vengono poi forniti dall'intervista al Responsabile Risorse Umane di Techno Sky, Giancarlo Gugliotta e dall’intervento del Presidente di Federmanager, Stefano Cuzzilla, sul welfare integrativo.Infine, un punto sui convenzionamenti diretti e su un’altra novità, non certo secondaria: dal primo febbraio sul portale di Assidai è disponibile l’applicazione che consentirà alle Associazioni Territoriali Federmanager di offrire ai propri iscritti il servizio di caricamento on line delle domande di rimborso. In ultimo segnaliamo che è ormai al cancelletto di partenza il II° Campionato Nazionale di Sci di Federmanager, che si terrà tra il 17 e il 20 marzo nella prestigiosa cornice di Cortina d’Ampezzo.

What Happens When Native People Lose Their Traditional Foods?

“The revitalization of tradition is much more
complex than people can imagine. It really is a
process that reaches far into the silenced
knowing. Recovering from intergenerational
historical trauma is something that continues
to seep into the lives of California Indians
today. Growing, nurturing, harvesting, and
preparing native foods not only feed and renew the body—they feed the mind, the soul, the
dreamtime of the people. Most importantly, our practices contribute to the healing of our
common relative, our Mother Earth, and right now, she is sick and unable to attract all the
beauty of the universe to come to her. And if our Mother Earth is sick, so are we, simply
because we are part of her.” —Cindi Alvitre, Tongva educator, Chia Café Collective
The native people I have worked with in southern California for the past 16 years have a
profound spiritual connection to the land through their ancestors and their long history of living
on the land. They pay homage to plants and consider them as their teachers. They’re dedicated
to passing on what they know to others. All stress our interdependence with other species. All
have a fierce devotion to revitalizing their culture as part of the larger cultural revitalization
sweeping California.
Cahuilla/Apache elder Lorene Sisquoc describes a reciprocal relationship with the plants and the
land. “The plants are waiting for us to come take care of them so they can take care of us.
In Temalpakh, Katherine Saubel writes that the Cahuilla word for an oak grove, meki'i'wah,
means ‘the place that waits for me.’ It’s our responsibility to take care of the land, to get out
there and gather, to sing songs, tell stories, do ceremony, share our laughter and our language.
To preserve our oral traditions by passing our knowledge to our kids and grandkids. It’s
important that they start learning very young. Taking care of the plants helps make our families
healthy. We’re working hard to heal our communities by deepening our connection to the land.”
Sisquoc is a founding member of the Chia Café Collective, or CCC, a grassroots group of
southern California tribal members and their allies committed to the revitalization of native
foods, medicines, culture and community. Their work to revitalize native foods honors the vast
traditional knowledge and spiritual relationship to the land, and explores the nutritive and
medicinal bounty the land offers us.
Through workshops, classes, demonstrations, and native foods celebrations, the CCC focus on
ways to re-incorporate native food plants into their daily diets to take back responsibility for
their health and well-being. Their work helps others to reconnect with the land through
ga.

Two Buffalo natives, Amy Betros and Norm Paolini, founded St. Luke's Mission of Mercy in 1994 after meeting on a pilgrimage and feeling called by God to help the poor and homeless in Buffalo's East Side. They purchased an abandoned church and have since turned it into a mission that provides food, clothing, shelter, and spiritual support for hundreds in need each day. Run entirely by volunteers, St. Luke's has grown over the past 10 years and now includes multiple buildings housing missionaries and recovery programs. Betros and Paolini credit God and the generosity of volunteers with allowing St. Luke's to continue its work of offering unconditional love and assistance to the most vulnerable in their community.
The Catholic Church views caring for creation as rooted in scripture where God creates the world and appoints humans as stewards. Pope Benedict XVI and the US Conference of Catholic Bishops have emphasized protecting the environment for future generations. Catholic institutions are working to address environmental issues through education, advocacy, and green initiatives. The Church cooperates with other organizations to promote sustainability and care for God's creation.
1. The document discusses ways that churches can become more environmentally friendly or "green" in their worship, fellowship, buildings and grounds, outreach, habits, education, and advocacy. It provides many specific project ideas that churches have implemented in these areas.
2. The Bible establishes that humans are called to care for and protect God's creation. The Christian Reformed Church has also acknowledged this calling in official statements.
3. Churches are encouraged to start becoming more green by completing a self-assessment, forming a study group, and beginning with small changes at home and in their congregations. Resources and support are available online.

WASHINGTON (RNS) The wheelbarrow outside the sanctuary was overflowing with vegetable
scraps; decomposing matter filled the baptismal font; and a pile of rich brown soil replaced the
Communion table.
Ashley Goff, minister for spiritual formation at Church of the Pilgrims, wanted to convey a message
about the cycle of nature this fall, and she could think of no better analogy than the congregation's
growing enchantment with compost.
"I wanted them to see the process of life and death and change," she said of her Presbyterian Church
(USA) congregation of 70. "It's a dying and a rising, where new life begins."
Across the country in the past decade, hundreds of houses of worship have started composting,
relating it to theological concepts of resurrection and stewardship.
Stacey Kennealy, sustainability director of GreenFaith, said congregations used to be put off by the
challenges of composting -- such as odor and pests -- but now urban, suburban and rural houses of
worship are digging into the practice.
"Compost is good for gardens, and as more and more congregations 'green' their food operations,
and focus on waste reduction, they view composting as part of that," she said.
Some congregations create the compost on site and others work with a commercial composting
company that makes weekly collections.
Goff has written an article for a forthcoming issue of Union Theological Seminary's Quarterly Review
about how her congregation turned from ignoring its soil to preparing food for hungry neighbors
with vegetables grown from its composted soil.
She compares her time in her church's backyard to making lasagna -- spreading vegetable scraps in
one layer, straw in the next.
"We have a way of discarding our scraps that is a holy process rather than just unconsciously
throwing it into the trash can as if it doesn't matter anymore," said Goff, who oversaw the blessing of
her church's first compost bin in 2010.
2. Yaira Robinson, associate director of Texas
Interfaith Power Light, said a synagogue and a
Methodist church in Austin have used new
composting services available in that city.
"Most everything from the lunch is compostable
because we switched to compostable plates," she
said of the weekly Saturday meal served by
Congregation Agudas Achim, a Conservative
synagogue that she attends.
With reports that 40 percent of food goes to waste, Robinson said, houses of worship are starting to
take action.
"That's just outrageous, especially when congregations are many times on the front line of people
who don't have enough to eat," she said.
Barbara Rossing, a New Testament professor at Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago, said more
than earthy-crunchy congregations have taken to composting.
"It's not just a bunch of liberal, left-wing people," she said. "It's people who've grown up on going to
camp, people who have grown up on farms, people who for some reason love the watershed, love
saving. I think it taps into some of the spirit of conservation and conservative values, too."
The theological school produces 400 cubic feet of compost each year for its vegetable and landscape
gardens, diverting more than 800 cubic feet of waste from the landfill, said Jim Schaal, sustainability
coordinator.
From Baptists in North Carolina to Sikhs in California, composting has been adopted as an
environmental and humanitarian pursuit. Compost in Methodist and Jewish vegetable gardens
enriches produce delivered to local food banks.
Rabbi Fred Scherlinder Dobb said the leftovers from preparations for the vegetarian luncheon
served after services each Saturday at his Bethesda, Md., congregation amount to "a lot of peels,
cores, stems, coffee grinds, etc.," that get turned in a hand-cranked metal drum.
"Genesis 2 tells us that the human (adam) comes from the earth (adamah), and that our mandate is
'to serve and to guard' the land," said Dobb, who leads Adat Shalom Reconstructionist Congregation.
"That starts, literally, with guarding and conserving the organic matter upon which our crops and
our lives depend."
Maryland Presbyterian Church, in the northern suburbs of Baltimore, initially used its own
composter to recycle coffee grounds and leaves. But members were concerned that the large
amounts of paper towels used by their Montessori school could not be recycled. Now they work with
a veteran-owned composting company and have reduced their weekly trash for the dump from six
cans to two.
"We are painfully aware of how Earth's complex systems are in danger of breaking down, to a large
extent because of how we humans have exploited Earth's resources and have ignored the ways in
3. which we pollute the air, the water and the soil," said Bill Breakey, a member of the church's
Environmental Stewardship Action Group.
At St. Columba's Episcopal Church in Washington, composting started with the nursery school and
now the children are setting the example for the adults of the church, said science teacher Kate
McLynn.
"Our composting and recycling was so successful at our church picnic this summer that we had only
a couple pounds of waste from a gathering of several hundred," she said.
Now at Church of the Pilgrims, about 10 people bring their compostable material with them to
church.
David Galbraith, who has attended for 14 months, has changed the routine at home, where his 5-
year-old has learned to put an apple core in a bowl next to the sink instead of in the trash. It then is
transferred to a container in the fridge, then to a bag carried inside another for the bus ride to
church each week.
"Both food and faith are very central elements to people's life so it's natural that in the context of
faith that food would be considered," he said.
