The BIG Necessity (human waste!?)

The "Issue" :




Human Waste,
2.6 Billion are without proper ways of getting rid of their waste.

Results in...
  • 80% of sickness on earth
  • Leaving our earth's water unclean
  • Us and UK have not perfected the process of separating our waste from our water
  • Effects Issues of energy efficiency and Water pollution, by taking clean drinking water and polluting it with our waste!
What does Scripture say about this?

We are called to be good stewards of what is given to us
  1. “The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it, the world and all who live in it” (Psalm 24)
  2. "The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it." (Genesis 2:15)

  3. "You must keep my decrees and my laws.... And if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it vomited out the nations that were before you." (Leviticus 18:26, 28)

  4. "The land itself must observe a sabbath to the Lord. For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and garner their crops. But in the seventh year the land is to have a sabbath of rest, a sabbath to the Lord.... The land is to have a year of rest." (Leviticus 25:2-5; cf. Exodus 23:10-11)

  5. "The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine; with me you are but aliens and tenants. Throughout the land that you hold, you shall provide for the redemption of the land." (Leviticus 25:23-24)

  6. "I brought you into a plentiful land to eat its fruits and its good things. But when you entered you defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination." (Jeremiah 2:7)

  7. "How long will the land lie parched and the grass in every field be withered? Because those who live in it are wicked, the animals and birds have perished." (Jeremiah 12:4)

  8. "It will be made a wasteland, parched and desolate before me; the whole land will be laid waste because there is no one who cares." (Jeremiah 12:11)

  9. "Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture? Must you also trample the rest of your pasture with your feet? Is it not enough for you to drink clear water? Must you also muddy the rest with your feet?" (Ezekiel 34:17-18)

  10. "There is no faithfulness, no love, no acknowledgment of God in the land. There is only cursing, lying and murder, stealing and adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed. Because of this the land mourns, and all who live in it waste away; the beasts of the field and the birds of the air and the fish of the sea are dying." (Hosea 4:1-3)

  11. "We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time." (Romans 8:22)

  12. "Woe to you who add house to house and join field to field till no space is left and you live alone in the land. The LORD almighty has declared in my hearing: 'Surely the great houses will become desolate, the fine mansions left without occupants. A ten-acre vineyard will produce only a bath of wine, a homer of seed only an ephah of grain.'" (Isaiah 5:8-10)
