Religion & Environment: Exploring Linkages

The paper aims to explore the linkages between religion and environment. Religion has long been an influential realm for human life. The paper explores the religion and environment linkages taking three components, namely, religion and environmental ethics, religious practices and global cultural economy. It concludes that religion and environment are closely linked through ethics, and these ethics are largely based on the environment of the places of origin of religions. Secondly, religions when put into practice, leave dangerous effects on the environment. And lastly, Religion, when becomes a part of global cultural economy, re-connects ethical values towards environment in everyday practice.
