What a great article... altho I must admit I had to look up hamartiology! Hee hee. I say amen and amen. I live in northern Idaho, and know I'm so blessed to live in this beautiful world that God has created for us. And I believe w/o a doubt we have a God given responsibility to take care of the earth and its creatures. I also appreciate what you said about poverty and those who are starving because someone who isn't hungry and has plenty decided to 'protect' some part of nature. I just don't believe God would do it that way.

So, I agree, it is what God would have us do, and if that means I need to have less stuff, consume less and grow more, then that's what I need to do. Not to be Green, but to be responsible as God has commanded me to be. To the earth and to the human race.
