The Environment

On a global basis and aside from all political rhetoric or affiliation, JMI acknowledges the desirability for an earth that is unpolluted and for the conservation and judicious use of resources. Our commitment is to advocate for a personal stewardship of the earth and, on a more local basis, to improve the environmental abuses in any area in which we program.

• Every day in the U.S., we produce enough trash to equal the weight of the Empire State Building.
• 20 to 50 million metric tons of electronic waste are generated worldwide every year
• Within 10 years, wind power could provide 20% of America’s power.
• Recycling one aluminum can saves enough electricity to power a TV for three hours
• Recycling one ton of paper saves 17 trees, 2 barrels of oil, 4,100 kilowatts of energy, 3.2 cubic  yards of landfill space and 60 pounds of air pollution.

“The highest heavens belong to the LORD,
       but the earth he has given to man.” – Psalm 115:16
