Environmental ethics

Environmental Ethics is the ethical realtionship between human beings and the environment we live in. There are many ethical decisions that human beings make with respect to the environment. For example, should we continue to decimate the forests for the sake of human consumption? Should we continue to make gas-guzzling SUVs' (sports utility vehicles), depleting fossil fuel resources while we already have the technology to create zero-emission vehicles? These are just a couple of examples of issues falling under the category of Environmental Ethics.
