Faith
More and more people are concerned about their moral obligation to care for the earth. “God’s Mandate: Care for Creation” was signed in February 2005 by more than 1,000 religious leaders from all over the United States that described themselves as individuals “for whom loving our Creator and thus caring for God’s creation is at the heart of our religious faith.” Their statement expresses concern about global warming, toxic emissions from power plants fueled by coal, and the absence of strong efforts to encourage conservation.
