The consistent life ethic is a way of thinking about how we can help protect the lives of all living things. It means that we should treat all living things—including plants, animals, and humans—with respect and value. We should try to make sure that none of these lives are seen as more important than others and should protect them from harm. For example, we shouldn't hurt animals just because they are different from us or eat meat from animals that were treated badly in animal farms. It also means that we should take care of the environment and not pollute or damage it. We should also support policies that protect the rights of people, animals, and the planet.
