Ardèche is a beautiful area of France and, although evidence of man's ability to "tame" the land is seen all over, it is a relatively natural area. Local regional politics have decreed National Parks and environmental protection laws. Many people choose to live in this area because it is closer to Nature.
Apparently, foragers have found natural gas shoal in large areas here and are heading towards exploiting these reserves as the price of the petrol barrel continues to rise and as the world is faced with the end of the supply in 40 years.
A growing environmental protection movement is sending out information through web links and emails in order to inform the public of the dangers and the need for strict and HONEST dealings. I leave you this documentary made in USA about the same natural gas wells. It's a series of 7 fifteen minute blocks on Daily Motion.
What should our stand be as Christians and how militant should we become ?
When I look at my busy timetable, I wonder where my priorities should be. Bible studies, evangelism, personal counselling ..... all good stuff and helping people grow closer to their Maker and their Saviour. But I'm very concerned about our way of taking advantage of what our Creator God has provided for our well-being.
