Over Exploitation

This chapter examines theocentric (or god-centered) perspectives against mountaintop removal, including evangelical Christian visions of Creation Care and Stewardship ethics. The Creation Care movement is most often associated with evangelical Christians in the United States. Supporters of this movement generally argue that over-exploitation of natural resources and increased pollution are violations of a biblical mandate for humanity to be good stewards of the natural world. From this perspective, mountaintop removal is problematic not only because of the harm it does to human communities, but also because it is seen as a violation of the mandate of stewardship. The chapter examines several individuals and organizations, including Christians for the Mountains, that offer this perspective in their work against mountaintop removal.

The Cost

On legume-grass pasture grasslands with the participation of creeping clover (varieties VIC 70 and Lugovik), meadow clover (Tetraploid VIC and Veteran), alfalfa changeable (Pasture 88 and Agnia), the total cost of anthropogenic energy for the creation, care, use and production of feed in the exchange energy in a single SI system (GJ/ha) is determined. The high rates of return given the cost of collecting metabolizable energy per 1 GJ of metabolizable energy.

The Image Of God

Christians throughout the world feel the need to answer the questions arising from the climate debate. Orthodox-reformed theology in the Netherlands, however, pays these matters comparatively little attention. Three possible causes of this problem are: stewardship as discussed under the heading of creation; a certain slowness in consideration; and the suggestion that the Ten Commandments do not bear directly on this theme. This essay proposes a more integrated position. First, stewardship of the creation should be more closely linked to the image of God. Second, the Ten Commandments has the creation in view more often than assumed: ‘creation’ is also ‘your neighbour’. Third, in considering creation care as part of God’s ‘normal’ obligations towards us, the threefold function of the law must not be diminished.

Sense Of Obligation

Abstract Tomasello offers a compelling account of the emergence of humans’ sense of obligation. We suggest that more needs to be said about the role of affect in the creation of obligations. We also argue that positive emotions such as gratitude evolved to encourage individuals to fulfill cooperative obligations without the negative quality that Tomasello proposes is inherent in obligations.
