So I’m a Green Party member in the UK and there are quite a lot of Green Muslims, and now more due to Labour’s islamophobia and backing of genocide. The Muslim Greens group on social media share a lot of things about environmental Muslim practices and environmentally focused parts of the Qur’an. I’m atheist but find it incredibly interesting.
Christianity doesn’t seem too bothered, with many Christians being strong climate change deniers, even though you’d think they’d take more care of what’s basically God’s Creation and the idealistic image of Eden as a garden.

It’s pretty common for religions to say something about taking care of the environment — it’s generally a prerequisite for human survival.

There are multiple pieces of Christian scripture which call out the duty of the faithful to be good shepherds of God’s creation.
They often aren’t emphasized in most modern sects, but they are certainly part of the theology.
It really is. The bible has quite a few passages calling for environmental protection. That means that most Christian churches call for environmental protection.
If god gave 7s coal and animals, it is our duty to BBQ.
Or they see climate change as a sign of the end times and don’t give a shit. They’re going to heaven, after all.
