Judaism and Ecology (outside reading)

While looking up specific religions and their concepts of environmentalism based on their religious beliefs, I stumbled across the "Jewish Values on Climate Change & Energy" posted by a Religious Action Center of Judaism. They had similar views to the Catholics, which were that in Genesis we were given the land and told to protect and watch over it (Genesis 2:15). They also argued that the Talmudic concept bal tashchit, "do not destroy," was able to be used in conjunction with the argument that all land was God's, to decide that any act that destroyed the land was an act directly against God. They also used "Justice, justice shall you pursue" (Deuteronomy 16:20) to argue that the countries that are more responsible for climate change should be held to that problem, and therefore in charge of finding a solution. If poor countries are forced to bear the brunt of climate change (perhaps they are poor because their economy is majorly based on agriculture, and a change in climate will make growing crops much harder) then rich countries will never do anything about it. This is against what the Torah stands for, and so they argued that the rich should fix their own problems and take accountability.
