"guess what; there's no such thing as right and wrong, it's all relative.

john, most people have an innate sense of what is right and wrong and most governments punish those who cross the line of demarcation. There are some core issues that virtually everyone agree upon. It's programmed into us, it seems.
Just think of the logical extreme of relative morality - You couldn't hold anyone accountable for anything because it might just be acceptable by their individual moral code.
As for the environment...
being a Christian, I'm instructed to be a good steward of this planet. And in doing so, I'm pushing back against the "curse" which has corrupted nature. The Bible teaches that God is going to restore this planet and my contribution to preserving it is a picture of his ultimate redemption. I know this is philosophical pap to most people here, but its my driving force for erring on the side of keeping this place clean and beautiful.
