The Role Of The Church In The Fight Against Land Pollution (Part 2)
JAN 31, 2021
WE ESTABLISHED in the first edition that God is the supreme owner of the earth and so He makes absolute claim to the ownership of the land. Thus God warns men never to pollute the land He has graciously given them. He commands humans to be responsible and learn to respect the laws He has given concerning proper land management. God warns against polluting the land by shedding blood on it, defecating on it, littering it with garbage.
In Genesis 1:1 it is written, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” And then in Psalm 115:16, the Scripture says, “The heavens are the LORD S heavens, but the earth he has given to the children of man,” (Psalm 115: 16).

Ten years ago, Ahmed Abdel-Basit joined the massive crowds in Cairo s Tahrir Square to demand reform in a momentous demonstration that sparked revolution in Egypt and the downfall of longtime President Hosni Mubarak.
But events didn t turn out the way protesters had hoped. After a military coup, a new regime took the helm, and many Egyptians believe it is even more oppressive, cracking down on political activity and dissent.
Looking at photos from Jan. 25, 2011, the physics teacher, who now lives in Jersey City, said he felt devastated.
“I’m sad and sorry for all we went through,” said Abdel-Basit, 35, who was granted asylum in the U.S. in 2018. “We didn’t achieve our goal, but we are still fighting.”

Counties in New Jersey are adding more drop boxes for voters to use in future elections, but officials across the state are not sure how those elections will look considering how COVID-19 drastically changed the process in 2020.
The open question now is if the state will hold elections primarily with voting machines, mail-in ballots or a combination of both this year with the governor topping the ballot.
Although many election details are up in the air, the state still has ordered counties to have at least 10 drop boxes and place them in front of municipal buildings and on college campuses. Once voters start to receive mail-in ballots, the drop boxes must be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and always under security camera surveillance.
