QUESTION
I want to locate Bible stories or passages that talk about cleanliness of the environment.

ANSWER
The basic story of creation (Genesis 1.1-2.4a) suggests that humankind is responsible for the creation. I am no aware of any specific stories that relate to this rather modern issue.

As an additional thought: Passages of scripture pulled from their context to support issues is not a proper use of Scripture. Scripture comes in a historical context to solve problems of ancient people. While it still has a message to us today, it does not address all of the modern concerns that we may bring to it. I am often amazed how we go to the Bible to find “support” for some idea that we have. God did not answer all the questions that humankind could ask in his storybook.
