Unlike Jeremy’s other films, Trashed is a hard-hitting documentary dealing with waste and the appalling human and environmental consequences of pollution. Christians believe that human beings have a responsibility to be good stewards of God’s creation and Trashed is a wake up call to all of us who share this planet that the need to be its good stewards has never been greater. A polluted environment seems a long way away living in this part of Oxfordshire and being able to walk in the beautiful bluebell woods at this time of the year. But even here dumping takes place and we owe a debt of gratitude both to the local authority and to keen volunteers who do what they can to alleviate the problem. However Trashed graphically confronts us with evidence of the huge damage that our life- styles are causing both to the physical environment and to some of the poorest people on earth. Trashed encourages us all to urgently engage with the issues of waste and sustainability and not to think that it’s a problem for others to sort out. In challenging us all to review our life-styles, Trashed has brought it home to me that Christians really do have a responsibility to engage with the problems that this film illustrates. This responsibility is shared with people the world over – people of different faiths and beliefs, people of good will. Are there readers of The Parish News who would be interested in organising a Watlington showing of Trashed and instigating conversations about it? If so please get in touch and let’s see if we can make it happen.

NEVER to put God ‘on hold’ ! Yesterday He gave me a wonderful idea for our Parish magazine, and I thought “Hold that thought Lord, I want to go to our Church Service”! Well now its all gone, and I am struggling with vague ends of thoughts, BUT I know He is a loving and forgiving Lord, so if I start, I am hoping He will fill in the holes on this! It was about our Lord being relevant and with us daily.
