Provides a useful counterpoint to the prevailing environmental ideology.

God gave us the rich bounty of His creation to build up civilizations that would be prosperous and worship Him.

And you shall eat and be full, and you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land he has given you.” (Deut. 8:8-10, ESV)
