For too long, being green and caring about the environment has been seen as a special interest group in the church—for the cyclists, allotment holders, and mother earth types. Lip service has been paid to the fact that God is creator, “all things come from thee, and of thy own have we given thee”, and that we and all that we see, touch, hear, smell and taste is created or God-breathed. And yet we are part of creation—trees clap their hands (Isaiah 55:12); God is intrinsically involved in the natural world; and promises never again to “curse the ground” and destroy “every living creature” after the flood.
