The Book of Bereishit (Genesis): Chapter 1:
29 And G-d said: 'Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed--to you it shall be for food;
30 and to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is a living soul, I have given every green herb for food' And it was so.
"Take care not to damage and destroy My world, for if you damage it, there is no one to repair it after you.’” -Ecclesiastes Rabbah 7:13"
