the christian way
“How we treat the creation reveals how we feel about the creator.” – Rob Bell
I have not yet had the time to research it in the Bible specifically, but I personally believe that it is a Christian principle to take care of the planet that we live on. I am happy to see that my beliefs are being echoed amongst many mainstream Christian leaders.
(Please note: I do not necessarily agree with all statements made in the above link. But I do feel that it is a large step in the right direction and worthy of commendation.)

Well, you won’t have to look far to find your Biblical support.
Adam and Eve were given the job of caring for the earth; enjoying-yes, using it, yes; but decimating it – No way. We are called and created to take care of our earth.

I am so with you! The Husband had a discussion with his dad about this. His dad seems to think that Jesus is coming back anyways, and then the earth will no longer be needed – so consume away!!! *SHUDDER*
