Alltheworldsreligions,faithtraditionsandspiritualitiespayproperrespecttotheconceptofenvironmentalethics.Somewouldsayitisanewfieldcomingtolifeinthe1970s.IwouldarguethattheideahasbeenintheJewishandChristiansacredscripturesfromtheverybeginning.

ThebookofGenesisintheJewishsacredtexts,whichallChristiansalsoaccept,isthestartingpoint.Chapter1verses2630states:

AndGodsaid,letusmakeahuman,inourimage,accordingtoourlikeness,andletthemdominatethefishoftheseaandthebirdsoftheskiesandthedomesticanimalsandalltheearthandallthecreepingthingsthatcreepontheearth.AndGodcreatedthehumaninHisimage.Hecreateditin

Moderndayreligiousscholarsandtheologianswouldhighlighttheconceptofstewardship.ThehumanpersonismeanttobeacocreatorwithGodinart,culture,scienceandinregardstotheearth.Humansareentrustedwiththeearth.Alltheearthsgoodsareforall,allthetime.TheprophetsoftheJewishsacredtextsteachaboutfaithandjustice.Thequalityofonespersonalfaithisdependentuponthequalityofjustice.WhereonestandswithonesCreatorisdependentuponwhereonestandswiththoseonthefringesofsociety,i.e.,thepoor,thewidows,thealiens,thosewithillnesses.Thedignityofthehumanpersonistoalwaysbeupheld,sincethehumanpersoniscreatedinGodsimageandlikeness.Thesamestatusforhumandignityandstewardshipisnowbeingappliedtotheenvironment.

Environmentalethicsnowlinkstheconceptofthedignityofthepersontothedignityofcreation.Someethicistsclaimthatoneprotectshumandignitybyrightsandduties,andrightsareamoralclaimtoagoodwhichisessentialtohumandignity.Therefore,theenvironmentisalsoanessentialtohumandignity.Tocontinuethisstringofthought,sincethehumanpersonissacredandsocial,oneneedstobeincommunity.Therearemanylevelsofcommunityfamily,civilsociety,regionornation,butthemostbasicwouldbethecommunityoftheearth.Thisconnectionallowsthelinkingofstewardshipwiththepurposeofhumanity.Onedoesnothavetofullyaccepttheideaofanthropocentricorhumancenteredphilosophies.

Theideaofstewardshipnowstatesthatcreationandnonhumanthingsarenotthepropertyofthehumanperson,butthehumanpersonistocareforandprotectwhatwasLOANEDtothehumanfamilybytheCreator.StewardshipwouldmeanoneneedstogivebacktotheCreatoranaccountingofhowoneusedthegoodsandmaterialoftheearth.
