"Carbon footprint" is a phrase commonly heard around here as people here often consider impacts to the Earth and the environment when making decisions. So, that's why it was not surprising that the church we go to recently had a sermon series on environmental stewardship.

In my time attending church in Texas, I don't remember the environment being mentioned. The difference is probably not in theology but in how culture affects what aspects of theology are emphasized. The environment is an important issue here, so God's call for Christians to be good stewards of the Earth may seem more relevant to people here than in Texas, where, for example, it can still be controversial to allude to global warming.

Our church encouraged congregants to take alternate forms of transportation to church (carpooling, walking, taking the bus, etc.) and many people participated. Anyway, it's just kind of interesting.
