Meet the Biodegradable Bible














“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

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.
