What does care for creation look like?
Care for creation means looking after living things and the places we share. We can notice beauty, avoid waste and learn how our choices affect the world. Small actions matter when we do them together.

In the very beginning
Genesis 1–2:3
Genesis describes God making a world full of living things and calling it good. The garden passage in Genesis 2 gives people work that involves tending and keeping it.
Read storyVerses to remember
Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
A little context
Genesis 2:15 places the human in the garden to cultivate and keep it. Caring for our surroundings is an application of this responsibility, rather than a detailed modern environmental rule.
