Any religion that does not care about guarding Earth against global warming and loss of species isn’t much of a religion. America is mainly a Christian-led society. Christians make most of the decisions that have the consequences that all Earth is forced to live with. Hear Mahatma Gandhi:
I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.
Sanctimonious is the word.

There are theories that attribute the absence of respect for environment in the Christian culture to the grading of creation in the Book of Genesis- man was the last -grand finale - of creations and was granted permission by the maker to use th earth for his survival.
In Indian philosophy, there are no grids on environment. everything exists in its own with. The Universal spirit pervades both the animate and inanimate life
