Humans can be a very destructive species, but we can also be protective and try to be good stewards of the creation that has been entrusted to us. Some of us do care about the planet. One of the most popular expressions of that care is the concern many people have about saving whales. You have no doubt seen a bumper sticker that says "Save the Whales!" and are aware of the environmental groups that seek to protect animals from extinction. As this AP report (Yahoo News - Endangered whale gets habitat protection) notes, there has recently been some very good news about efforts to save endangered whales in North America:
Thousands of square miles off Alaska have been designated as critical habitat for North Pacific right whales, considered the most endangered whale in the world. [...] At least 11,000 of the slow-moving whales — prized by commercial whalers for their oil and baleen — once swam the waters of the North Pacific. The whales were listed as endangered in 1973 and there are now believed to number fewer than 100 in waters near Alaska. A few hundred more may remain closer to Russia.God cares about whales, but there is another species that He cares about a lot more. If God had a car, you can be sure he would have a bumper sticker: Save the humans!
