Question: Should we care for environment?
Position‹2 of 4›: Yes, religion tells us to care for the environment

This position holds that religion commands care for the environment, via the 'stewardship' view: God made humans caretakers of creation, giving them a duty to protect it. It draws on Genesis — Adam and Eve told to 'work it and take care of it' — and on figures like Pope John Paul II.
