Spiritually speaking, can we preserve God's creation, ie the environment, yet

provide jobs for everyone? If so, how?

I ask this question partly because I'm an environmentalist, but partly because as a former Christian, I think we all have a moral duty & a practical need to tend to the welfare of our fellow humans.

All the great Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity & Islam, teach the importance of compassion, especially compassion towards the poor and oppressed.

I think it follows that followers of these 3 great religions can't embrace "anti-human" solutions to environmental problems. We can't just try to preserve the natural world at the expense of human welfare.

But practically & spiritually, we can't simply destroy the environment for the short-term benefit of humanity, at the cost of making the future bleak, unlovely and polluted for coming human generations.

How can religious people [and how, too, can atheists with humanistic morals] work to save the environment, yet also ensure that there will be enough jobs to keep a growing human population employed & prosperous?
 
Of the billions of humans the three 'great' religions have helped to overpopulate the earth with, you'd think someone could come up with a renewable energy source. A new source of energy would open up the opportunity to create a vast wealth of jobs...However, humans should still take responsibility and watch the population instead of thinking they need to breed like rabbits!
If a person is truly humanitarian, they don't want the world so overpopulated there would be millions that need to die.
 
I didn't read all the stuff that came after question.

Jobs doing what....combing crocodiles, petting penquins

Come and live in the real world, where life is hard. Good fellings and good intention doesn't create jobs. MONEY creates Jobs. We have made the American Economic environment anti business, anti manufacturing and this is where we landed. You can't keep pushing into the swamp and expect things to get better.
 
This world and everything in it will be gone soon. This is biblical prophecy, and it is fact. Jesus is coming SOON!

Hallelujah! New Heaven and earth coming soon! Woohoo!!!
