This week has been LEO Enviroweek at Lincoln University. LEO is Lincoln Environmental Organisation. Pete is the President of LEO, and also part of LUCF (Lincoln Uni Christian Fellowship). LEO have been stopping cars heading into the car park and asking for donations for tree planting; holding a trash audit; inviting well-known environmentalists into Lincoln for lunchtime talks. Of course, at Lincoln there's a bit of a divide - the agriculture students are famed for their dismissive nature towards 'green'; whereas for the environmental management students it's their raison d'etre. You'd think it'd make for an interesting discussion time, but no - Lincoln takes apathy to a new level.
There's much scope for me to meet Pete and look at what God says in the Bible about environmentalism and stewardship of the planet. Having said that, there's also much scope for me to do the same with some of the ag students.
This morning LUCF was outside the library giving away (cold) Easter buns to highlight why the students have got a long weekend. This is turning into a tradition as this is now the third year this has happened, and it's good to see.
Here's Amy getting a bit too keen in the photo....
And here's the product themselves. Lovingly buttered by Daniel and Kongchay.
And this one shows Nathan in full flow giving out Easter buns and talking about Jesus' death. Good times.
I'll end this post by wishing all my readers a happy Easter - do think on and rejoice in Jesus death and resurrection!
