    As American adults experience record levels of material affluence, they are giving less to religious organizations and are experiencing declines in well-being and mental health even while turning in greater numbers to religion.

In response, this paper provides Christian college instructors biblical and social science resources and thought-provoking discussion questions to use with their students to demonstrate that while money is not inherently evil, it cannot buy happiness, and aspiring for affluence actually leads to harmful psychological outcomes

The three FOOTPRINT tools share the same underlying science, based on the consistent identification of environmental characteristics driving the fate of agriculturally applied pesticides and their interpretation to parameterise state of the art modelling applications thus providing an integrated solution to pesticide risk assessment and management in the EU
