Neal A. Maxwell wrote:

The instructions to Adam and Eve about the garden earth . . . have not been rescinded. They were, and are, to dress it—not destroy it. They were to take good care of it instead of abusing it. Our increasing interdependence on this planet makes some forms of individual selfishness the equivalent of a runaway personal bulldozer. If we have no concern for generations to follow, the means are at hand to tear up the terrain much more than was ever possible anciently. Today’s polluter or terrorist, for instance, can claim the lives of so many more than a mad owner of a long-bow could have done centuries ago! (Believe, p. 75.)

This restored work not only involves the things of eternity but is also drenched in daily significance. True disciples, for instance, would be consistent environmentalists—caring both about maintaining the spiritual health of a marriage and preserving a rain forest; caring about preserving the nurturing capacity of a family as well as providing a healthy supply of air and water; caring for both the prevention and the treatment of the miseries caused by the diseases of transgression. (Flood, p. 103.)  (From ‘The Neal A. Maxwell Quote Book, Bookcraft 1997, p.105)
