Everything that God created was "good". It was attested by none less
than God Himself, and attested so many times during the Creation story -
that He saw that whatever was being created was "good". "Good" - as in
beautiful, perfect, complete, in harmony, and it served a divine purpose
- everything was this way - even what
we consider not of much worth - like - fruitless trees, wild animals,
snakes..everything was "good" originally.
And He then made man the care-taker. So if today the Earth is messed up, we cannot walk away from the responsibility. Be kind and caring to the environment, use the world around us responsibly - its the only Christian way.
