“The Green Bible” is printed on eco-friendly recycled paper, with a linen cover and soy-based ink.
Every passage that features the most taken-for-granted player in the Bible’s vast cast — the planet Earth — is printed in grass-green ink. The effect can be powerful, chastening and even exhilarating, as when you come upon these lines in the book of Isaiah, glinting green: “The mountains and the hills before you shall burst into song, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.”
In a foreword, Archbishop Desmond Tutu reveals the unsubtle message of this edition: “We, who should have been responsible stewards preserving our vulnerable, fragile planet home, have been wantonly wasteful through our reckless consumerism, devouring irreplaceable natural resources.” Repent while ye may … and along the way, recycle. - Liesl Schillinger, New York Times: extract from the Paper Cuts blog

Lady, where do you find all these amazing books? This one looks super cool (:
This is not what the lord wants, if you read Genesis 3.
God cursed the world because of sin.
So he wants us to recover the beauty below the curse.
I apologize for any inconvenience and do not wish to change you're theology.
However, do not destroy the word of god as to become a "natural" person.
We are not evolutionists, we don't jump on the bandwagon of the evolutionists
and think that the world is a million years old and you have to preserve the Earth
for a million years to come.
