Thanks, I think. Does that mean I'm old?
BTW, after glancing at your website, my first thought was that you should not defend conservatives being green, but use Biblical quotes to defend how conservatives (however badly) have been CONSERVING and STEWARDING the resources that God gave us. And we haven't done that badly.
We should defend the stewardship role assigned by God and that the left has tried to co-opt with their "green" movement.
That segues nicely into the fact that humans are expected to use their resources.

No, it means I am a newbie, with only bookish experience. My girlfriend and I are architects and are currently designing our off grid home. I have worked on several projects, but have yet to live under the roof.
Good point on stewardship. Matter of fact, there is a quote from Voltaire about not losing a connection with nature and how it provides for us.
“We must cultivate our own garden. When man was put in the garden of Eden he was put there so that he should work, which proves that man was not born to rest.” There is more to it, but it fits somewhat.
I always reflect on my grandfather and how he made the most of what he had, and would not pollute or mistreat his environs, for it provided for him.
