It supplies the food necessary to stimulate and nourish our physical structures. All of it is a gift from God that man is wasting because of his lack of care of our planet. God gave us dominion over this world, He commanded all of us to fruitful and multiply, that is not just for Mankind but for all living creature that moves on this planet.

Soil contamination is responsible for harm caused to the natural habitat of animals and deforestation. The littering of the products that men use every day is often seen on the side of the road as well as illegal dumping of trash in natural habitats.

    In the book of Ishmael by Daniel Quinn, we discover that humans feel as though they were created to conquer and rule the world and every species in it. However, God never meant for man to travel aimlessly throughout earth on their own accordance. By his refusal to give us all the knowledge and wisdom that would be needed to govern the earth, he made it necessary for us to seek him for guidance in order to fulfill his desire.

On this day, God gave man the sworn duty of protecting the earth as its created order. After several thousand years, I believe it is safe to say that we have not lived up to that duty. In fact, we have pushed away from it.…

    After reading Ishmael, my mind was astounded by the depth of which the novel illustrated about humanity and its captivity. It gave me a new prospective of how in some ways I would be considered conformed to the world based of “Mother Culture” ideas. It made me feel guilty that despite everything I have done and learned in relation to the environment my humanistic values may be contradicting it. I had to take a step back couple of times reading the novel to correlate it with my own personal values, the way I saw the world, and the very foundation of the world’s educational systems and beliefs.…

    In today’s society people has taken care of the environment in a different way. If God created the world and everything that goes along with it; then we as followers of God, Don’t we need to treat the world the way God would want us to? In Psalms 24:1-2 NIV it says “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.” How funny that not just people, but Christians themselves treat the world with such mocking and disrespect towards the environment. God had put his trust in us so that we could take care his treasures on this earth, and pass on the teaching towards our children from generations to generations.…
