Environmentalism and religion
Recent trends of environmentalism have attempted to create a
universal approach to man’s role in caring for the environment.
Underlying this attempt to globalize environmental concerns is the
variety of views of man’s relationship to the environment. One of
the major components of most religions (and worldviews) is to
define this relationship. There are many approaches to this
relationship. Which of the following do you hold to? (or a
combination) : The natural world: 1. Was created by a divine being
or God with the intent that humans se it for their needs. 2. Can be
studied or manipulated to benefit humans, but otherwise does not
have greater significance. 3. Is home to humans and fellow beings
like animals and plants; it is a landscape where the life force is
present in everything. 4. Is an ecological web of life where each
species is interdependent on many others
