The church doesn't say that much on the enviornment but what it does say is to protect what God has given us and to not use it all up. one of the most important things to know about the enviornment is that it adaped to what is going on around it, and that once everything is gone its gone.
"Man has loved the world, but as an end in itself and not as transparent to God ... The natural dependence of man upon the world was intended to be transformed constantly into communication with God in whom is all life ... When we see the world as an end in itself, everything becomes itself a value and consequently loses all value, because only in God is found the meaning (value) of everything, and the world is meaningful only when it is a 'sacrament' of God's presence ... The world of nature, cut off from the source of life, is a dying world."
(For the Life of the World, SVS Press, New York, 1973.)
