Well, I have no idea what a "true Christian" is (Christians so often disagree about that) so I'm not gonna touch that part of the question.
I find it heartening that there has been an increasing momentum in environmental responsibility in Christianity, the greening of Christianity, one might call it.
Honestly, I don't care if the reason that people want to preserve and heal the green and beautiful planet we share because their holy book tells them to, or because they simply want to make sure there's something left for their great-grand kids. All efforts in this area are welcome, as far as I'm concerned.
I'm also happy that this kind of thing can and does bring together Pagans and Christians to work on something we can agree on. It's vital to developing an understanding of each other to meet first as human beings instead of as stereotypes.

Wendell Berry is one of the most well known ecological ethicists and environmentalists writing in English. He is also a Presbyterian. Check him out.

No. Christians must destroy the planet if they want to get into heaven. Taking care of your environment is the Devil's Work.

They should be as we are the stewards of the world.

I'm not sure why you asked the question? what's your point?
