I would hope that all people who seek and find some spiritual solace in the natural world become fierce environmentalists because we're seeing the destruction of the planet proceed all around us. Stewardship is a lesson we all need to learn and practice if our children and grandchildren are to have even a fraction of the experience we benefited from in our youth. The book of Genesis is the perfect story for the trajectory of our history on the planet. We had every thing we needed, and all of it was renewable. Our accumulated knowledge gives us great power but very little wisdom. We're banishing ourselves. Hopefully, we can undo some of our big mistakes or at least lessen their effects.
