Christianity as root of (all) environmental evil?

"God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” (Genesis 1:28)

Dominium terrae is the official term for this phrase. So, how does evaluation of christianity, its mission and spreading this idea all over the planet, look like in this context? Why did all "nature religions" (this term itself is obsolete, just to show its extreme reference to nature already in the nomination), that are so much older than christianity, care about nature in the most self-evident way?
