Ecological rationality

Ecological rationality is about understanding the rules of nature so that you can make the best decisions for yourself and the environment. It is a way of reasoning that looks at long-term effects, not just short-term gains. Ecological rationality means thinking in a way that takes into account the health of the environment and all the organisms that live in it. It involves considering how your actions can affect the world around you and how the actions of others can affect you.
