The Jewish State’s Obligation to Environmental Sustainability
When God created the first human beings, God led them around the Garden of Eden and said: Look at my works! See how beautiful they are, how excellent! For your sake I created them all. Take care not to spoil or destroy My world, for if you do, there will be no one to repair it after you. — Midrash Ecclesiastes Rabbah 7:13
