Elves loved Nature and cherished every aspect of it. You can see it especially in their architecture. For example, in Lothlorien, the houses are built around the Trees, and I daresay that in Rivendell, somewhat of the same thing occurred (except there were no talans). I don't think that an Elf would even consider cutting down a tree unless he (or she) was in absolutely dire straits. Dwarves, on the other hand, constantly use trees for fuel and "manufacturing" purposes. Because they cut down trees for seemingly needless purposes (needless to the Elves), the Elves think that they don't care at all about the Earth.
