From 1950, the HMHS Podcast Network presents this episode of the Mark Trail radio show: Polluted Waters.
Mark Trail began as a newspaper comic strip created by Ed Dodd who worked as a national parks guide. Tom Hill, an artist and naturalist, joined Mr. Dodd as an illustrator in 1946; and a quote by his son sums up Mark Trail nicely:
“Mark reflects a reverence for God’s creatures, nature, and the conservation of woods, water, and wildlife.”
Although “Environmentalism” has become politicized, it does not negate the fact that the universe and all that it contains is the property of God; we have been made stewards of it. As good stewards we choose to honor the Creator by caring for His creation. After all, he didn’t proclaim that his work was “good” for no good reason! And that is about as political as we care to get in this post. Enjoy the adventures of Mark Trail, and discuss the traits of a good steward with your children!
