Counting on … Lent 7

13th March 2025

“I brought you into a fertile land to eat its fruit and bounty, but you came and defiled My land and made My inheritance detestable.” Jeremiah 2:7 

Degraded soils create vulnerable habitats for people and animals. Without good soils, plants do not thrive and hunger and starvation follow. Microplastics are now to be found everywhere across the globe. Where they infiltrate the soil, they are polluting the soil and damaging the growth of plants. For the convenience of our lifestyle we are damaging the very thing – the land – that provides us with the means of sustenance.
