Our economic system eliminates more waste than any other. As for excesses, how would you know what displeases God? What we have is a blessing from Him.
What we have is a blessing from God, and he expects us to use it wisely. I know that waste displeases God because Jesus tells me this in the way he lived his life.
John 6:12, Jesus, after he has fed the multitudes with loaves and fishes, tells his disciples to “gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost.”
Our ecomonic system is the most efficient and successful in the world. It does not necessarily eliminate waste, in fact in many ways it does just the opposite.
I don’t advocate changing our economic system, or joining the Kyoto protocol. My only point is that there is much waste in this world that could be easily eliminated. I don’t know whether global warming is real or not, or whether it is man made. But I do know that waste is not a good thing.
