Numbers 35:33-34 is also in green, reading, “You shall not pollute the land in which you live…you shall not defile the land in which you live, in which I also dwell; for I the Lord dwell among the Israelites.”
"The Green Bible is the first-ever specialty Bible that takes the issues of sustainability, stewardship of the earth, what many in the religious community call creation care," said publisher Mark Tauber. 'I think it will surprise a lot of people of faith.' "
Highlighting "creation care?" I don't see a problem with that. In fact I think that stewardship of the Earth is a completely Orthodox idea. All of creation suffers because of man's sin and man was intended to mediate between the created and Uncreated.
Now the whole problem with the Christian Environmental idea is that I don't see Biblical proof to come to specifically Environmentalist conclusions. I understand that air and water must be clean, but I don't understand (and I have my masters in environmental engineering) why the same people disagree with clean burning nuclear fuels. I can agree with Christian stewardship, but I have not been convinced of a Malthusian model of overpopulation.
I sympathize with the sentiment but I can't help but be critical of environmentalism's presumptions on what really is the "right" way to go.
