It’s not correct to say, as this author does, that all Abrahamic religions look to the afterlife exclusively, instead of life on earth. We do not reject embodiment. We don’t say to ourselves: go ahead, plunder resources, exploit the earth beyond its ability to heal. That’s not permitted.

Judaism has always focused on making the present, material life, sanctified. All of it.

In fact, eco-Judaism is original Judaism, not some modern afterthought tacked on by current sentiments. You cannot make your land into a wasteland & call yourself spiritually guided. It violates the very heart of our duties in this corporeal life.

Space is awesome, and I love it. But I have no illusions about a techo-miracle future. We’ve squandered our resources on disposable junk and poisonous convenience. Our future is here, whether we want it to be or not.

So let’s make it a place worth living in. Let’s sanctify our daily lives.
