Christians cannot be disillusioned that everyone thinks the same way and there viewpoint are the same. There are many non-Christians that belief that there is a need protect the earth and we will have endless supplies of natural resources. Finally, Christians realize that efforts to protect the earth may not be enough, so we must prepare and plan to restore natural resources. As Christian followers of God, we must educate others about conserving the earth's natural resources. What Specific Action(S) Should Christians Take Regarding The Environment And Its Preservation Or Restoration? Could you imagine Jesus Christ driving a car that is not environmental friendly?

...CHRISTIANS REPONSIBLITY OVER THE ENVIRONMENT ENGL 101 God’s involvement in creations is shown in all aspects of the creation in the Bible. With each aspect of creation, God expressed pleasure in what He created. God’s pleasure in his creation reveals the need for Christians to care for the environment. God shows man’s mandate given by God for creation in Genesis 2: 19-20. Since God gave the mandate to rule over the earth, man is also responsible for the environment. Global warming has affected the planet which is and has caused a climate change on earth. Natural disasters have increased due to the climate change. Christian’s responsibility for creation is to restore its landscape, agriculture, animal life, and human livelihood. Christians have a responsibility to preserve creation by recycling, proper disposal of hazardous waste, and create protection agencies for wild life. Christians have a responsibility to take care of creation, restore, preserve, and protect creation in all aspects which God has commanded man to do. God’s involvement in creation is understood for Christians in the Bible starting at Genesis 1. The Bible shows at the beginning God’s hand is expressed in all aspects of creation. The first day of creation God made space, time, earth, and light. On the second day, God created the atmosphere of the earth which then making it possible for life on earth. The third day, God made dry land and called it “earth.” God names the water “sea.” God also created...

...Assess the claim that secular approaches to environment issues are of more help than religious ones. (35 marks) Secular approaches are ethical approaches that are not religious, for example Kantian ethics. Religious approaches would include Natural Law and biblical references. In both of these approaches to environment issues, a good approach to environment issues would be one that weighed up the pros and cons of both sides of the argument and come to a rational conclusion that is backed up with reason. Utilitarian’s weigh up the long term effects against the short term effects. I think this is a good way of looking at the environment, as the long-term effects are very different to the short-term effects. If we focus on only the short-term effects, then no environmental problems will be solved. Jeremy Bentham follows the quantitative approach, which is where the cause of the action outweighs the maximisation of higher pleasures for the present and future generations. Bentham would weigh up the pleasures and pain for all those involved. For example, a quiet lake with loads of wildlife being used for water skiing and other recreational activities. Bentham would weigh up the pleasure of the people and the amount of income against the pain that the wildlife would take and then make a decision whether it should be allowed or not. This is not a very helpful way of solving environmental problems because each situation will have a different outcome depending on the pleasure and pain...

In the other hand, there is a group of people who state that this argument sound egoist because we are not the only species living in this world and we should share this earth with species. “Individuals can not be used as merely as a means to the end- there are ends in themselves” Kant basic ideas here are that persons have the position to make rational choice about their own lives. They have moral autonomy and fee will. This fact about person confers dignity upon them. They command respect.

...believe in the power of free speech even though in some cases it can be offensive. Why should free speech be limited on campuses? When should free speech be limited on campuses? Who should take responsibility of free speech on campuses? Erika Christakis, the the Yale Associate House Matter states, “Free speech and the ability to tolerate offense are the hallmarks of a free and open society” (“Campus adults: protect free speech” 1) and the authorities of the university of Missouri adopted that slogan. I believe that free speech should be limited in the university of Missouri in order to reduce the effects of creating an offensive, demeaning, intimidating, and hostile environment for other students on campus. First, I am against the total freedom of speech in the university of Missouri because it can create an offensive environment on campus. The offense can be directed against other students because of their race, color, religion, sex orientation, age, or disability. The recent events that occurs in the university of Missouri is entirely the proof that such an environment can be created if the speech is totally free. In November 18, 2015, students at the university of Missouri engaged in huge protest against the university president for a deep racial problem that occurred on campus. “Students are right to speak out for diversity and sensitivity to racial and gender...

Gradually, enterprises make decision for sustaining and developing.

...DRAWBACKS IN ENVIRONMENTAL LEGESLATIONS IN INDIA: In today's world the conservation, protection and improvement of human environment are major issues all over the world. Human environment consists of physical environment and biological environment. Physical environment covers land, water and air. Biological environment includes plants, animals and other organisms. Industrialization, urbanization, explosion of population, over exploitation, disruption of natural ecological balances, destruction of plant and animal species for economic reasons are the major reasons behind environment deterioration. Our country’s degradation of environment degrades the global environment. Therefore, it is all the more important to have legislations to protect our environment. 1.Introduction In the Constitution of India it is stated that it is the duty of the state to ‘protect and improve the environment and to safeguard the forests and wildlife of the country’. It is the duty on every citizen ‘to protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers, and wildlife'. The Department of Environment was established in India in 1980 to ensure a healthy environment for the country. This later came to be known as the Ministry of Environment and Forests in 1985. The constitutional provisions are backed by a number of laws – act and rules. The Environment Protection Act ,1986 came into force and is considered an umbrella legislation as it fills many gaps in the existing laws...

In the past few years, there have been many instances of violence on campus from killers who did not have a CHL license. Theses shooters appear randomly and the amount of damage they can do is unpredictable. Campus security and police are only so available, and are most likely too late to the scene in the instance of a campus shooting. The ability to have a concealed handgun means that when a perpetrator tries to shoot a classroom up, the owner of the handgun can prevent death or injury and classmates and self. A campus full of CHL hand gun owners would mean that even when others don’t have the means to protect themselves, fellow classmates will be able to protect each...
