They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator... Romans 1:25 NIV
The Green Glue that could help bring the world together spiritually....
Baha’i on Green Religion
"A statement of the Bahá'í International Community to the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris, France....
A more balanced attitude toward the environment must therefore address human conditions as consciously as it does natural ones. It must be embodied in social norms and patterns of action
characterized by justice and equity. On this foundation can be built an evolving vision of our common future together. And that vision, in turn, stands as a powerful mechanism for mobilizing action around the world and coordinating numerous efforts into mutually-reinforcing lines of action.
Principles– that humanity constitutes but a single people, for example, or that justice demands universal participation in the work of sustainable development – reflect the rich complexity of human nature.
It is true that the ecological footprint of certain areas is far larger than that of others. This is a reality that will need to be addressed through both voluntary choice and governmental regulation. But equally important will be lifting billions out of poverty in ways that not only reduce harm to the environment, but actively improve it. Addressing social needs in the context of environmental ones responds to the pressing moral imperatives of climate change......Government has a vital role to enact the policies, laws, and regulations needed to support the desired actions and behaviors."
