Lastly the idea of giving creation one day of rest was for when the earth was healthy and man was in balance with his environment. But the earth is not healthy now and we're out of balance with our environment. So when possible we need to rest from exploiting creation more than one day out of seven to help bring things back into balance.

                        An Afterthought:

Yes cleaner energy sources and limited use of resources are both good ways to reduce global warming. But they treat the symptoms. The root of the problem is a mindset that doesn't see the Earth as being alive and possessing both self-preservation and free will; which makes it worthy of Sabbath Day rest along with mankind and the animals. Trying to prove the Earth is alive using science and philosophy is not gonna work. This wisdom only comes from having a sense of fear and respect for the Word of God.
