Reopen mines that poison – is this what God meant by subdue the earth?

Here’s an article that looks at what really should be a Super Fund Cleanup Site.  But Trump’s EPA wants to reopen the mine.  It starts with:

Reopen mines that poison – is this what God meant by subdue the earth?  Not likely.  That’s an acid lake in the image below.  And what we’re going to see is the EPA wanting to open up a mine that will poison a lake.  We know that, since it happened before.  It’s still poisoned.   And the EPA wants to start the mining again.  Worse yet, this lake is used for swimming, fishing and drinking water.

It goes through what’s happening in one Idaho lake – from a government and business point of view.  How the parents of children that live there are shamed into not even checking on the health of their kids.

Then, it takes a look at it from the Christian point of view.  It considers things like subdue the earth, be fruitful and multiply, serving two masters, and even who is our neighbor.

In the end, it comes down to two questions.   One for non-Christians.  And one for Christians.

That says a lot.  God didn’t put us here to be rich – to have lots of money.  Or huge “toys”.  God didn’t put us here to get anything at the expense of our neighbors.  Or at the expense of the earth we live on.  We’re here to take care of each other.  To take care of everything that God gave us.

So there’s one final question – especially for the Christians reading this.  Are we storing up treasures in Heaven, both for ourselves and especially for others?  Or are we helping out the thief that comes to destroy?  Are we trying to follow God?  Or are we following Satan?
