Earthlife

So here I am wanting to put an ecologically friendly page on our the peekfoto.com website. To convey our responsibility to the world and environment we live and work in. The problem is that I am not exactly your model of political correctness. It is not that I am opposed to taking care of our environment, I am opposed to placing our environment before us as Gods creation.

Ecology is the branch of biology that deals with the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings. Extending this to humans, it is the study of the interaction of people with their environment.

Lets face it, with this issue, there is a right and a wrong. But this value is also based on a belief of the individual. John Muir as founder of the Sierra Club in 1892 may have been the origin of the nations movement towards an ecological bent. I really think Muir’ motives were probably pure from a responsibility perspective. Years of growing idolatry and fanaticism has taken those ideals and perverted them to the gain and promotion of more political issues. Once again the power of the few over the many and the attraction that ideal has on people creates the corruption of pure thought.

A problem with many of todays eco-organizations is that they hold to a pantheistic belief that man and nature are of the same essence. This I believe is just wrong. Not that we do not have a responsibility to care for what has been created for us. I am just saying that priorities are wrong when people walk on sidewalks because they think a blade of grass has the same priority in existence as human life.

Yes I believe the Word of God when in Genesis 1:26 states for man to ...have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. (KJV)

Along with this dominion comes a great responsibility to correctly manage our environment. Is it good to search for better more efficient energy? Yes, but not at the expense of an economic system. It just is not going to happen over night.

So here it is… We at Peek Digital Photography will endeavor to:

Recycle where possible

Make use recycled goods when economic feasible

Use more efficient means to consume energy and products

This is a start of what we will have on our Earth Page of peekfoto.com. It is not because I think that we are going to “save” the earth or extend its existence one day but rather because it is the responsible thing to do from a Christian perspective.

Have a great day.

Cya… Doug
