Solution
Environmental ethics is based on the following beliefs:
- Humans have no right to reduce the richness and diversity of nature except for their essential needs.
- Human life can flourish in the long run only when non-human life is conserved.
- Besides human beings, all other living and non-living things are equally valuable.
- The human race cannot hope to prosper without providing adequate space for the growth of natural resources.
- If people continue to exploit natural resources indiscriminately, a day will come when they will have no clean air to breathe, no clean water to drink, and no wholesome food to eat.
