Describe and Explain the teachings of the Religion
I will describe and explain the teachings Christianity holds about the relationship between humanity and the rest of creation. I will discuss the relationship different areas of humanity should have with the areas of creation they interact with most. These areas are the relationship with the environment, the relationship with God's creatures and the relationship with developing science and technology. I shall conclude, from a Christian point of view, with the belief that one should conduct their life according to their relationship with creation as a whole. The Bible affirms the goodness and intrinsic value of all living things; it points out commonalties between human beings and other living things; and it contains the mandate that we treat the natural world with care and respect. Such insights provide powerful grounds for environmental responsibility thus supporting the interpretation that man is on earth to serve God. Pollution is the cause for poor environmental conditions. Christians believe that they are 'employed' to look after the earth by God, as his stewards. They know they do not own it but are owned by it. For all of us have a limited time on earth.

Pesticides are hazardous to human health as are hazardous wastes. They should be allowed to work for themselves, often this is normally farm labour. Christians believe that mankind can only act as good stewards if they work together and support each other regardless of creed and colour. They should have equal share to the earth's resources. They should respect all living things, change their ways if the continuously perform bad deeds, abide by the laws set by God and preserve the naturality and beauty of their planet. The good shepherd lays down his life for his sheep. The destruction of the few resources these people have causes an extensive number of deaths. Christianity not only believes the planet must be cared for, but its beauty should be preserved too. Christians believe in equality and to "love your neighbour as yourself". God commanded man to be fruitful and increase in numbers but by natural methods. God created man in his image so man should try to uphold his good qualities too. Many Christians will argue that there are more humane modern methods of slaughter to day so it is not cruel to kill animals for food. People are selfishly clearing up their local environment and reducing the quality of it elsewhere. However mankind prevents this as disposed waste destroys and prevents crop growth.
