Description

Judaism's Balanced Approach to Conservationism and Environmentalism. Man is given license to exploit all of the world's natural resources, and stands alone at the pinnacle of Creation. Concomitantly, he is commanded to preserve and protect the rest of God's Creation. This basic dialectic- license and responsibility- informs all of the policy decisions which mankind make with respect to the Environment.
