A bishop cannot have pastoral concerns about dirt or trees. A bishop is a shepherd of souls, so that souls can be saved from the earth, which is going the way of darkness. He is not trying to save the earth, or help create a world where all of our social problems are solved and the stomach of every man will be filled. This is what the Jews are waiting for - this will be the Antichrist!
Unfortunately, you once again display a rather thin understanding of the Orthodox view of His Creation and our place within it, and our responsibilities. A world steeped in Orthodox reverence will solve most, if not all, of these problems, making them moot and freeing us to concentrate on Theosis.
And what does a liturgical calendar have to do with this topic anyway, save a usual negative response to anything YOU don't think is Orthodox?
