Here is my perspective: My family saves sea turtles. We work with biologists in reestablishing the Alabama dune mouse. We replant and create environments for plants that are endangered. Right now, my wife and youngest daughter is with a school group of over 100 kids, doing a dune protection/restoration class.
Here is why I put the above in... because we are surrounded and mingle with extreme environmentalist wackos! Some of these people are off their rocker and the most virulent and nasty people you will meet. So why do we do what we do?
Earth Day was the brain-child of a Wisconsin Democrat Senator. He, along with a very conservative Republican established Earth Day as a day to emphasize our need to take care of the earth. It is not just an environmentalist wacko celebration.
It is our dominion mandate to: "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground..... [take care of] every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground?everything that has the breath of life in it?I give every green plant for food.?
We are supposed to take care of the earth so that we can consume it!
That is the Christian perspective.
