Ultimately, everything we have is on loan to us from God. Before long, we’ll be dead and someone else will be in charge of it. And this holds true on a global scale as well because ‘the earth is the Lord’s’ (Ps 24:1). So regardless of how you feel about climate change or species extinction or resource depletion, the material world should be treated with enormous care because it doesn’t belong to us.

—J. Augustine Wetta

from his book, Humility Rules: Saint Benedict’s Twelve-Step Guide to Self-Esteem
