There's no squirming out of it, no matter how overwhelming it might seem. As I did, maybe you feel that each person has his or her own special calling to a certain ministry. Yours just isn't ecology. It talks about God's judgment of both saints and sinners, and his plan to destroy those who destroy the earth. We're all caretakers of this planet.
People are more important than the environment.
God values his Creation, and we who have eternal life are still part of it. People are important, but people are also intimately intertwined with Creation. By caring for the earth you show how important people are. Surely God won't let humans destroy the earth. God is ultimately sovereign, but he also gives us freedom to act, expecting us to act responsibly.
