The author starts off by arguing that the Biblical Noah's Ark, flood renewed the world and the creator established a covenant with man and the environment. The creator's purpose was to create a righteous people and therefore the environment had a moral and righteous dimension right from the beginning.

However due to transgressions and sins of man the environment is again degraded and is now on the brink of total destruction. Recognising the great effort made by man especially in the last 50 years or so both at international and domestic levels, the author has described and outlined the effort which he says is largely based on sustainability and development as the factors influencing both the effort and the resources allocated to the challenge.

He calls this the garment!!! He endeavours to persuade that what is critical in facing environmental challenges is the heart of man without which all will be in vain.

The environment action plans and the resources must have a moral dimension for environmental challenges to be fully met. He concludes by comparing the Noah’s flood waters with the new era waters of baptism both of which depict the righteous and moral dimension of the environment. He concludes by challenging every person to join in the fight to restore the environment.
