At a Christian conference I attended this weekend, a fellow attendee suggested conservative Christians don't want to be identified with the environmentalist movement because it is identified with liberalism and that we have missed our great commission to be green. The idea is that only our petty labeling stops us from working with others for the good of all mankind. I must disagree. I don't identify as part of the environmental movement because I don't view the movement as all that noble. Certainly, we ought to have clean air and clean water. Who likes polluted streams and unbreathable air? Likewise, we ought to treat God's creatures with respect and kindness/Adam Graham, Give Me Liberty. More here.

Question: Are you an environmentalist? Do you consider the environmental movement noble? Or not?
