conservation

a quote for today:

"...for humans to cause species to become extinct and to destroy the biological diversity of God's creation, for humans to degrade the integrity of the earth by causing changes in its climate, by stripping the earth of its natural forests, or destroying its wetlands, for humans to contaminate the earth's waters, its land, its air and its life with poisonous substances, these are sins." --Patriarch Bartholomew I, spiritual leader of the world's 250 million Orthodox Christians
