My? point was not that G-d gave a special mission to Jews at Sinai to become Enviornmentlists. This is the job of all humanity. My point was ... just as we can appreciate the importance of being an Enviornmentilst in cleaning up the Gulf, we Jews were given a special mandate to clean up the world from the Spiritual downfall of the original sin.
Hence we through Divine Providence have been thrown from country to country to live there, clean the world physically & spiritually through Mitzvah.
