What does the Bible say about environmental pollution?

While Scripture does not directly address modern environmental issues like pollution, it teaches that we are called to keep ourselves unspotted from the world (James 1:27). This instruction can be applied not only to our physical surroundings but also to our spiritual lives. Just as Israel's mingling with pagan cultures led to moral decline, Christians today must guard against the gradual acceptance of worldly values that pollute our hearts and minds. Thus, the fight against pollution is as much spiritual as it is physical, demanding that we remain vigilant against corrupt ideas that oppose God’s truth.
