Environmentalism as Stewardship

"Ecology is an issue which can only be solved if it becomes a religious one," says Marshall Massey, a Quaker and an expert on the ecological dangers facing our planet. "The economic forces aligned against the ecological measures we need and the life-style change that's demanded won't happen unless masses of people have a change of heart." The triple threat of the depletion of resources, the thinning of the ozone shield, and the massive elimination of species, particularly in the world's rain forests, needs to be countered with every possible motivation - economic and spiritual.
