Religion has been a part of human culture for centuries of time. Religion has brought people together for years meanwhile it has also diversified the human population. Religion is a belief in a god or several gods, where humans depend on these figures for reassurance. Theories of the world's creation is often debated because of the facts from science, and the beliefs from religion. There is one thing in common though; the earth was created to inhabit life.Therefore, there should be a very strong relationship between religion and the environment. What you believe in is irrelevant to the fact that we need earth to survive and flourish. The environment has been encountering many problems, from extinction to ozone depletion. Because billions of people follow a religion, religion could be one of the greatest counterparts to diminishing the issues effecting the environment.

I agree with you that a strong relationship should exist between religion and the environment. People should work to keep our environment intact because without it, we really have nothing.
