These theories value the care, conservation, preservation of nature, and humanity.
Your search for the meaning of life must explore not just our survival but calls for a
new socio-ecological order. Erich Fromm believes that it is about time that humanity

What I Have Learned?
TAKE NOTE:
➢ As Christians, we must be environmentally concerned. In order to do that, we
must understand our responsibility and comprehend the original relationship
between man and nature.
➢ Genesis 1:26-28 tells us that God created man and woman in His image and
gave them dominion over all the Earth. This included all the animals that God
had created as well as the entire Earth. God also charged their descendants
with the care for all the Earth (Gen. 1:28).
➢ Although Scriptures are in general agreement with many of the ecology
groups that man is responsible for his environment, Christians may disagree
with them on the question of why the environment is important and how it
should be maintained.
➢ Perhaps one reason that we are commanded to care for the Earth is as an
illustration of responsibility and stewardship. God placed man over the Earth
as the crown of His creation. We are to show care, compassion and
responsibility in our relationship with creation. In this way, we can appreciate
better the special relationship which God has established with man, who was
created in His own image. As believers we will show good stewardship by
accepting the responsibility that was given in the beginning.
➢ Man must learn that our responsibility to the Earth is less important than our
caring for each other.
➢ Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present
without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own
needs. It contains within it two key concepts:
• the concept of “needs”, in particular the essential needs of the world’s
poor, to which overriding priority should be given; and
• the idea of limitations imposed by the state of technology and social
organization on the environment’s ability to meet present and future
needs.
➢ The following environmental theories which have great impact to caring the
environment are: Deep Ecology which promotes the inherent worth of living
being regardless of their instrumental utility to human needs. Next is Social
Ecology which tells that destroying nature is a reflection wherein few people
overpower others while exploiting the environment for profit or self-interest.
Lastly, Cofeminism which argues that ecological crisis is a consequence of
male dominance.
11
➢ We need to take care of the environment for so many reasons and we have to
make this place a better place to live in for the next generations. We should
be responsible to our environment as stewards of creation.
➢ Here are simple ways to take care of our environment;
1. Turn off the lights whenever they are not in use.
2. Reuse water bottle.
3. Recycling
4. Repurposing
5. Avoid using detergents
