I think it is great to see Christians getting interested in caring for our environment, God’s creation. We should have really been leading this movement and effort instead of standing by and criticizing the liberal minded activists for taking a stand. Though their methods and proposed solutions have been historically extreme and make no sense i.e. the desire to shut down entire industries, banning gas powered lawn mowers, etc. We have politicians producing movies claiming to be based in science and reality, but are just skewed messages with a soft side utilizing legitimate issues such as the environment as the vehicle to convey them to a well meaning, yet gullible public audience. It is time to use reasonable and intelligent thinking to address the concerns and solutions relating to environmental issues. Who better than believers to accomplish this? After all, shouldn’t we value God’s creation at least as much as those who simply worship the creation rather than the Creator?

I think Christians should set good examples in all we do including taking care of God's creation. However, Jesus told us to go into all the world and make disciples. This was not a suggestion--it was His last command to us. I think the best way to accomplish evangelism and Global care is to go all over the World and share the Gospel with the local and national leaders in an effort to lead them to the Lord. Then we can encourage them to help take care of the Earth and their own citizens. Consentrating on a few leaders of cities and countries will go along way toward cleaning and protecting God's Earth.

I always knew that eventually the Christian community would recognize the importance of the environment. As Jesus said in Matthew7:12. "whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets". In other words love your neighbor as yourself. And our neighbor includes our children and grandchildren who will have to live on this earth after we are gone.

If there's one thing that's impressed me in "Christian" circles, it is our places of higher education. Calvin and Wheaton are two fine examples. I myself am an Eastern University alumnus, and I saw a lot of environmental initiative there as well, particularly with the Wind Energy program. Glad to see this article up!

Its wonderful to see Christian conviction moving people to action in this very important aspect of stewardship. We need more of this.
