Our world is sick, and we are its infection.

The concept of saving our planet should not be a trend, it should not be something that is positive or negative as far as fashion is concerned, its a matter of life or death. It's not a matter of opinion, and it certainly should not be a matter of opinion for those who know nothing about it. I have a friend. His stepmom drives a Land Rover, shops at designer stores, and doesn't recycle. But she believes in going green. How do I know this? Because she has "Go Green" shirts, Obama bumper stickers, and constantly watches CNN while texting on her Blackberry. If I asked her, "Donna, what is the definition of a green house gas?" I wouldn't expect her answer to be "gaseous constituents of the atmosphere, both natural and anthropogenic, that absorb and emit radiation at specific wavelengths within the spectrum of thermal infrared radiation emitted by the Earth’s surface, the atmosphere itself, and by clouds," but somthing closer to "Um, they're like, these bad things, that are like, hurting the planet. Go green!"

I agree and disagree. I do believe the world is "sick", and I do believe we are the "infection." I am  constantly exposed to certain views of our planet and the people and society within at church. I know what you are going to say? "Oh no, another Christian." I believe that everything I do is to glorify God, well, needs to glorify God. "Whether therfore ye eat or drink or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." This is a major standard I live by from the Bible. Just like some people live according to the tao (dao) or the Bahgavad Gita, which I have read all three of these resources, I live by Gods word. The world and the people in it are selfish. We are born with that nature. Since I live to please God and not myself I believe that I do the right thing, for the most part. If the world wasnt so swept up in pleasing themselves we most likely wouldnt have the problem of needing to be "green", we would already have "green."
