Don't worship the Earth
I believe that God created this Earth for His people to inhabit. Obviously, we should take care of what He's provided to us. We must be respectful of our planet. But I don't think we should go as far as to make a whole "religion" out of this environmental practice. If people start consuming themselves with saving the planet, and what-not, the focus starts to turn away from God and onto mankind and the planet itself. Planet Earth begins to be worshiped and seen as a sacred deity. That's really the main problem I have with this religion and environmental relationship. The Yale video condescends how "past religions" focuses on a personal relationship (with God). I still believe firmly that "religion" is, in fact, a personal relationship with God. There's no room for worshiping the Earth because God is not in the picture anymore, God created the Earth and gave us the Earth to live in. We should worship Him not it.
