With the holy month of Ramadan having just passed, the Muslim festival of Eid ul-Fitr serves as a natural culmination of the environmental mindfulness developed during Ramadan. Throughout the month, the practices of fasting, simplicity and reflection encourage a heightened awareness of our consumption habits and their impact on the planet.

Islam places a strong emphasis on the balance of nature, urging humanity to act as stewards on the Earth rather than exploiters. This perspective is woven throughout the Qur’an, where the natural world is not only seen as a resource but also as a sign of Divine wisdom.

You are absolutely right, I should think about Muslims in other places, for example Dubai with a Muslim population of 75%, as we know Islam places a strong emphasis on the balance of nature:

“‘You Can Smell Petrol in the Air’: UAE Fossil Fuels Feed Toxic Pollution” documents alarmingly high air pollution levels in the UAE, which create major health risks for its citizens and residents and contribute to the global climate crisis. The UAE is one of the world’s largest oil producers and home to seven so-called “carbon bombs,” the world’s largest fossil fuel production projects. Air pollution and climate change are directly linked, as the burning of fossil fuels contributes to air pollution and drives climate change.

Oh... well lets look somewhere else, maybe Karachi, Pakistan, with a 97% Muslim population seen here with a massive garbage problem and is among five most polluted cities in the world!

From this we can deduce that if "This perspective is woven throughout the Qur’an" then Muslims don't give a shit about the Qur’an or this dude is just latching onto the environment in a lame attempt to to promote Islam
