OK, I can't stand the tree huggers and the global warming cultists either, but, what is a moderate way to act toward our natural resources?
Glad to see someone who had a well-thought out post on this thread.
Why is it that if we disagree with tree huggers, we automatically want to go to the other extreme and purposely harm the planet? And if we disagree with extreme animal rights people like PETA, we want to joke about out hunting exploits or how much meat we can stuff into our already full stomachs and clog our arteries with the cholesterol? It's childish!
My family recycles, and I'm proud of it. We've grown our own food, and it is good for us and the planet. We use recycled bags for our groceries, and buy food that's grown organically and not harmful to the environment (along with organic and humanely raised meat). I know people that use compost piles to fertilize their gardens instead of fertilizers and pesticides, I think it's GREAT!
And my pastor has two gardens and between his house and the deacon's house there are about half a dozen apple trees.
Why anyone would want to harm the planet, just to get back at tree huggers is beyond me... Life's a lot better when you can enjoy the benefits of clean air, food and water.

As for being "liberal"- I don't hug trees, or fear crushing an ant while driving, and my family removed a few trees in our backyard when we got a pool, and I don't believe in global warming.
However, not recycling is LAZY! This is, seriously, a holiness issue. We need to be good stewards of the land GOD has put us on. That means "going green" when we can (it can save money too, for those who are frugal), not littering (which is EXTREME LAZINESS), not wasting water needlessly, and being compassionate towards animals (GOD's eye, which is on the sparrow, will not hold blameless the one that is cruel to animals).
It's the blatant disregard for the earth, animals and our resources that give one more thing for the non-Christians to mock us about, as being ignorant. I refuse to live in ignorance, and I don't want to live in filth, neither do I want to be lazy or excessive.
I'm really interested in seeing well thought out responses from those who may disagree with me, I really do want to understand where you're coming from, and see if I am missing something.

Dude, you are way too young to be so serious! LOL!
I said "In honor of Earth Day I didnt recycle TODAY! get the implication there? I have a big old 4 foot recycle container at my house and everything that can goes in it.
you need to take some of that starch out of your shirt collar and loosen up a bit.
I am however, very happy that you arent worried about crushing ants when you drive down the road! That makes me feel better!

A holiness issue!? This is new. Please expound on how being, or not being, an environmentalist is about holiness.
Ps ... being green doesn't save much money. Those stupid new "green-friendly" light bulbs that only give half the amount of light and take an hour to actually brighten the room cost almost twice as much as a regular light bulb.
