What does the Bible says about saving our environment?

               Bible is neither a book of superstitions nor mere stories.Many teenagers tend to think that they don't need God just because of the tremendous technology growth.Our modern culture and technology  raise an alarm to save trees .Our scientists are talking endlessly about Global warming and ozone depletion.The only solution for this problem is to grow trees.People shows concern now after they've done considerable damage to our planet.
            The endless researches , with all these inventions and technology  didn't help to stop cutting down of trees.We don't understand what we could do to replenish the forests.The Global warming is still a growing issue .If we had listen to what the Holy Bible says we would have stopped this issue earlier.Bible condemns those who cut down trees even for their own necessity.It may be a  war emergency but God strictly prohibits cutting down of trees for our own selfishness.Let's take a look at a verse                                                   
             " When you are attacking a town, don’t chop down its fruit trees, not even if you have had the town surrounded for a long time. Fruit trees aren’t your enemies, and they produce food that you can eat, so don’t cut them down.  You may need wood to make ladders and towers to help you get over the walls and capture the town. But use only trees that you know are not fruit trees"(Deuteronomy 20:19).
              God gave it as a Law.How keen he is to keep our surrounding safe! but look at us .We are gradually polluting and destroying this planet for our own selfishness.We polluted water in Earth and now searching for water in Mars. Even if we are provided with ten more planets like Earth still we are going to pollute that places too.aren't we?. If we are not willing to change ourselves our surrounding will not going to change by itself. What we just do is endlessly blaming others and authorities,sometimes we find ourselves sitting on a couch in front of T.V after a very bad day with boss we tend to blame God too(ha ha I did this often). We need a big change in our attitude ,then only we are able to develop our environment.Its not too late to get back to the bible  and walk in the light of the word of God.
