God made all things bright and beautiful. As human being who live on this earth, we all have the responsibility to take care everything given to us. There are many ways on how to show love to nature. We can start it in small things. Avoid throwing your own rubbish anywhere. Plant more trees at the backyard. Make trash bin at home. Report illegal burning of trash. Showing love to nature in simple way means a lot. You will serves as a good example for others.
Do you show love to nature? In what way?

Sombrero Fallout 904c2f2f-4e79-40b4-8830-16b4909b1948 The wearer of this fallout will receive many funny looks, but there can be no doubt that this is truly a king Sombrero in a world reduced to poor imitations.
Actually, the way you open up your post makes me think of a blog post I just read over at Slacktivist. Fred was making the point that religious language tends only to be persuasive when speaking to people of the same religion; otherwise, it's best to stick to secular terms. I'm Wiccan; Wicca being a nature-loving religion, I find myself motivated religiously as well as for other reasons to make ecologically sound decisions in my day-to-day life. I keep a compost pile, I buy organic and local (and both where possible), I recycle and buy recycled, I try to cut down on use of the car. BUT... I can't convince non-Pagans to live greener lives by giving them religious arguments. (Sometimes even your line of reasoning--God created it all and gave us a responsibility towards the rest of the world--won't even convince people who believe in God! I was part of an Earth Day celebration on a college campus once, and the student Bible group was going to join with our student group to host it, but apparently many of its members balked. They didn't want anything to do with something that looked like Gaia worship. Arguments about stewardship and God seeing the fall of every sparrow did nothing to convince them that environmentalism was wise from the Christian perspective too--all they saw was Paganism trying to get its foot in their door.) How else do we convince others who do not share our more metaphysical convictions? What are the most effective secular arguments for the thesis "green is good"?

I got your point of view. For me God created it all and gave us a responsibility towards the rest of the world convinced people who believe in God. It's just a case to case basis. I am also an organizer of Earth Day Celebration in our town for almost five consecutive years. I handle youth. And we successfully accomplished our main objective. I know we have different religion and beliefs. We don't have the right to force people to believe what we believe in. To fact that it's not religion what matters here, the important is our FAITH of loving nature in our own ways. We can show love to nature not only in words but also in our action. It's our action speaks louder than our words.
