Three times I am told that the plastic bag I am holding in my hand is “totally degradable”.

On the bag is says:

— “totally degradable plastic additives.”

— “100% degradable.”

— “This bag is totally degradable, in the interest of the environment.”

The environment is the natural world. We breathe the air. We see the land, the plants, the animals, and I love to walk along the seaside.

And an environmentalist is someone who is “concerned with the protection and preservation of the natural environment,” tells me the Collins English Dictionary.

Of course, I am not an environmentalist, but I am interested in the environment and I am also concerned with the protection and preservation of the environment.

But I am even more  concerned with the creator of the natural world.

You find the answer why I am much more concerned with the creator  of the natural world than with the natural world in the Bible.

The Bible says that “the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire,” but the creator of the natural world remains forever. He is eternal. He has neither beginning nor ending.
