philosophy which considers extending the traditional
boundaries of ethics from solely including humans to including the non-human world. It exerts influence on a large range of disciplines including law, sociology, theology, economics, ecology and g eography.
There are many ethical decisions that human beings make
with respect to the environment. For example:
Should we continue to clear cut forests for the sake of
human consumption? Should we continue to propagate? Should we continue to make gasoline powered vehicles? What environmental obligations do we need to keep for future generations? Is it right for humans to knowingly cause the extinction of a species for the convenience of humanity? What is Environmental Ethics? • Environmental ethics- the discipline that studies the moral relationship of human beings and also the value and moral status of the environment and its nonhuman contents
• It considers the ethical relationship between humans
and the environment
Why are Environmental Ethics Important?
• Humans are slowly depleting all of our natural
resources that other generations need for their future
• Our world was created for us to live and thrive on and
we are slowly killing it
• Sustainability for the environment is crucial so that we
do not destruct the world that God created Causes of Environmental Degradation: Environmental degradation occurs when the environment becomes less important or smashed.
Various forms of environmental degradation are
there. When habitats are ruined the biodiversity is said to be lost.
Otherwise when the natural resources are worn-out,
the environment gets hurted. Environmental degradation can occur in two ways as in natural way or through human threatens to surroundings.
The loss of rain forests, air pollution and smog, ozone
depletion are becoming the concerns of largest areas. Also the destruction of marine environment included here.
The planet's oceans are getting poisoned by pollution
which occurs throughout the world. The effects of marine degradation are observable even in the remote areas,. Global environmental problems
As a branch of philosophy, environmental ethics is a fairly
recent development, having become a body of organized knowledge only in the last decades of the twentieth century. It came about as a necessary response to a growing number of very obvious threats to the physical condition of the world in which we live.
The list of some of these global environmental problems is a
long and familiar one, and many of them came about because of the massive increase in the growth of the human population worldwide. As populations continue to soar, the various problems caused by too many people naturally increase in both their number and seriousness.
It is predicted that the 2000 world population of six billion
people will rise by another one billion people within ten years. To the many problems this causes, such as increased pollution of the air, water, and soil, is also added the depletion of these and other important natural resources. SOLUTION:-
Environmental Ethics is needed to guide environmental
experts/decision makers, in making sound judgements and decisions. Thus, the most effective impact of this project will be the internalization of environmental ethics as a forceful tool for the establishment and application of environmentally sound policies and to take appropriate actions as a key personal in environmental protection and pollution control. It is, therefore, aimed to integrate and harmonize "environmental ethics" in environmental pollution control practices to increase environmental awareness of the environmental decision makers and experts
