Christian responsibility to help the environment

As Christians, many of us believe that we have an obligation to help the environment. Kyle Kramer once decided that air conditioning is too luxurious. Feeling as though being constantly surrounded by technology and other man-made things, Kyle thought that not using the air for a while would make him closer to God. In my opinion, this is too extreme. His whole family had to suffer in the boiling hot weather. There are several ways to become closer to God like taking time out of each day to pray, or a quiet walk alone. But putting his wife and children through this is too extreme. I am not sure how that's helping the environment, either. But as Christians, we have some sort of obligation to help the environment, no matter how minuscule. So, whether it's taking five minutes out of your day to pick up trash or devoting your whole weekend to planting trees at the local park, do it.
