This piece is 32 years old! Still, it's worth reading. Renewable Natural Resources Foundation: 'Religion and the Environment' by Russell E. Train.

We have moved beyond the quote below. Check out this 2009 blog post of mine:
The Bishops Speak: Caring for the Columbia: Religion and Environmental Stewardship.
The letter in the aforementioned post is dated 8 January 2001 and signed by 8 Catholic bishops.
All right!
"I have been puzzled...by what has seemed to me to be the almost total obliviousness of organized religion toward the environment." - Russell E. Train (1990)
