Go (Truly) Green—by Starting with Genesis | Answers in Genesis
Many evolutionists are celebrating Earth Day by telling the world to stop climate change by “going green.” The great irony is that only the Bible gives a foundation for taking care of the earth. When God created the first humans, He gave them charge over the Garden of Eden to care for the animals and plants.
