And I'm not even an Environmentalist!

I read things like this and they make me really sad.
Then I see things like this and they make me mad, because my people are using things like this as an excuse to ignore a problem, and in some ways, even justify it.
Then I remember Genesis 1:28 which says “God blessed them; and God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.’”
Ruling over the earth and all its creatures doesn’t mean we look the other way. It doesn’t mean we laugh at people who stand up and work for this cause. It doesn’t mean we don’t at least try to do our part, even if it just means we recycle newspapers. Every bit counts, and every part of the global ecosystem affects every other part of it. I guess I just don’t understand why people think it’s ok to ignore our responsibility towards nature and ultimately, towards ourselves.
