THE future of Australia depends to a large extent on changing the way we treat our environment.
The days when huge tracts of land were cleared for agriculture is a practice that cannot be justified any more.
The degradation and salination of many areas of this country are reminders of the damage that has been incurred through such actions.
As God’s people, we are custodians of the earth he created, not landlords who seek to maximise its use at any cost.
Tighter controls on land clearing, particularly in Queensland, are needed before the life-giving earth in our hands is permanently destroyed.
