(that's 1 John 2:15 - John 2:15 is the one where Jesus attacks the money changers)

The next line is critical for context, as it defines what "things in the world" means.

> [...] For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.

Seems clear to me this isn't about creation (ie not saying don't cherish nature / animals).
