I think you would probably agree with me... that's why I linked. I would say that the point of being green should be obedience to God, and awe for His creation rather than because a carmaker makes it hip to drive a hybrid. I believe we are on the substance side of the "green" message. The green message will pass... gas prices are down... we'll see more hippies driving? :-) The true message for us is stewardship. God calls us to take care of His stuff. wouldn't you agree? No I would totally agree with you guys…. I think you would probably agree with me… that’s why I linked.

I can't tell if your linking to 1.21's blog implies that you think that we would disagree on that... But I think its unhelpful to set things up in terms of an either/or scenario as if we had to choose God over recycling or recycling over God. We should confront the sin of worshiping-the- environment/idolizing-conservation. But we don't want to over-react with false dichotomies. I certainly agree that God is more important than recycling.
