Scripture

12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Colossians 3: 12-14

A great way to show compassion to the planet is to get out and clean up some trash.  It's good to just walk around your neighborhood and fill a bag or you can join Grace for highway clean up.  We do it once in the spring and once in the fall.
