surprisingly, there is a kernel of truth to what spendogg says. [Though I would challenge the loaded rhetoric like "The Christian Right" because there is no such compartmentalization in reality.] Anyway, it is true that Christians view this world as temporal. The Bible teaches that there will ultimately be a cleansing and restoration of the earth to it's pre-Fall state. This is not our final home, as it currently is.
However, the Bible also teaches that we are to be good stewards over creation and treat this world with respect while we are here, as it testifies to the majesty of it's creator.
So, there certainly is no Biblical justification for trashing the planet. Quite the contrary. If anything, Christians should set an example of nurturing creation in this regard.
There is also the scientific perspective: Entropy, the law of conservation of energy, etc... Things are always going to move towards breakdown and decay.
