Environmental Care

Environmental care refers to a responsibility that all humans have as stewards of creation, or rulers of the earth, as those who believe in the bible would say, 'human beings were created to take care of environment and rule over everything on earth.' And this narrative clearly does not mean that human beings should overrule, which has become a reality.

Human lives and life of everything that is created can be seen to be in pursuit of comfort and happiness, while humans in particular search for knowledge and understanding. The one thing very common in all species, is the fact that we claim to be moral beings who do not want anyone to die unnecessarily, but it happens everyday. Every time we witness people's properties being destroyed by climate change events, and some dying, it has been proven by scientists the world understands that climate change is human induced. 

Now more than ever, we need to reconcile with creation, we need to take care of our environment.
