Pollutions Christians – it is not good stewardship as God’s creation is being abused. Pollution also harms humans so this does not follow the teaching of ‘love thy neighbour’. Buddhists believe pollution goes against the first precept, ahimsa, to not harm any living things. Task: Add two bubbles in your book stating the two religious views To get a higher grade: Do you agree with any of these views? Explain your answer with well-developed reasons.

GCSE question… ‘All religious believers should be concerned about climate change.’ What do you think? Explain your opinion. (3 marks) Change affects everyone / causing severe weather patterns e.g. storms / floods / drought / temperature variations / wildlife affected / failure to do so would not be good stewardship / future generations will suffer the consequences / God’s given us responsibility / Mother Earth important. Little one person can do / other things to worry about / won’t affect present generations that much / facts disputed by some scientists e.g. may be cycle of the sun.
