Not all Bibles have this "replenish the earth" in them, but this is a direct translation from Hebrew and is in my Bible. We cannot simply take and take. When nature decides that she has had enough, we will be given a lesson. We are also told that the "sins of the fathers will be on the children to the fourth generation" (Deuteronomy 5, 9). Four generations are about 100 years. This sentence means that we should consider 100 years' time in all our decision-making. The warnings are in our most ancient teachings. It's about time we heeded them.
