Long before the terms "Climate Change" and "Ecology" were even known, Judaism was protective of the environment, not only with rich aphorisms but also in Jewish law. Yet Judaism certainly allows man to use natural resources to benefit himself. How can this be? This podcast will examine when, when not, and why Judaism permits and forbids use of natural goods, and how this attitude also prevents climate change.
