Moral duty to protect planet

Edward Echlin (Books, April 18) criticises an author for being "oblivious of the obvious connection between ecology and religion".

Evidence that this is a widespread failing amongst Christians appears in the very same edition of The Universe.

Encouraging us to invest ethically, Brian Spence argues that:

"For the Christian, there is a double incentive since companies are assessed on moral as well as ecological criteria."

If it is not a moral requirement upon us to preserve our life-giving environment for the well-being of all its inhabitants, I wonder what is?

That quibble apart, I commend The Universe for including an article on ethical investment.

Surely you will make space for a follow-up, advising us on how we can switch our existing accounts and policies so as to promote stewardship of the earth?
