I was recently at a conference that is focusing on reducing Green House Emissions and the imminent calamity carbon emissions will bring to the planet. Consensus is that we have already caused irreversible damage to the environment, It would be a great sin to contribute to the pollution, that could eventually destroy all life on the planet. I know of this very religious family who observe all their religious duties and are very judgemental about girls showing some cleavage, and people drinking socially or having bfs and gfs. But these guys are horrible polluters, they throw down chemicals down the drain, don’t recycle, don’t conserve and reuse and would not know sustainability if it hit them on the back of their head. Whereas this liberal family is very environmentally conscious and is involved full throttle into environmental stewardship. I have my opinions. I would like to have yours as to who is the bigger sinner.

Coming back to the original topic:
a very good post indeed. people get so worked up on sins that dont affect others yet something like pollution which affects the environment we all live in gets no condemnation. recycling, conserving, reusing should be taught to young children and be mandated.
As far as what i know about religion, islam actually promotes conserving. we were always taught as young children that is a sin to waste water or food. wastefulness is considered sinful. planting a tree is also a good deed. so if a family is being wasteful, they are being sinful.
