My Thoughts and Questions:

For this blog post, I have a series of rhetorical questions. I would love for you to thoughtfully consider these questions. For several of the questions, I link to inspired references that may be helpful to you.

• Who created the Earth? 
• 1 John 1:1-3
• Who does the Earth belong to?
• D&C 104:14
• 1 Nephi 17:36
• Genesis 1:26
• What do you associate more closely with the concept of dominion: ownership or stewardship?
• D&C 104:13
• How would Jesus Christ be treating the Earth if He were here as a mortal?
• Is it important to God that we are respectful of the Earth?
• Has The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints set an example of how to treat the Earth?
• Church Newsroom Article: Environmental Conservation and Stewardship Efforts
• How can we be better at treating the Earth with respect?
• If the LDS Church produced material on environmentalism, would you read it?
• Gospel Topics: Environmental Stewardship and Conservation
• Values of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (scroll down to "Good Citizens of the Earth")
• Do you have political or social motivations stopping you from treating the Earth with respect?

Please comment below. I'd love to see things from your perspective. Also, if you have your own nature pictures, I'd love to see them!
