Midrash Ecclesiastes Rabbah 7:13:
When God created the first human beings, God led them around the Garden of Eden and said: “Look at my works! See how beautiful they are—how excellent! For your sake I created them all. See to it that you do not spoil and destroy My world; for if you do, there will be no one else to repair it. And what is worse, you will bring death even to the righteous people in the future."
We are the earth's guardians. It is irreplaceable and we must learn to tend to its needs better.
