A stark warning that human greed is threatening to destroy the environment was issued by the Archbishop of Canterbury in his Christmas message. Dr Rowan Williams appealed to Christians to do more to safeguard the planet, saying it should not be used "as a warehouse of resources to serve humanity's selfishness".
He told worshippers at Canterbury Cathedral yesterday that people should treat other people and nature with reverence. "More and more [is] clearly required of us as we grow in awareness of how fragile is the balance of species and environments in the world and just how our greed distorts it," he said.
I think this appeals to more than just Christians.

This message should appeal to all with a moral conscience regardless of religion. To state you're religious and then do all in your power to stifle this message seems to me to be in total antithesis to what religion is all about.
