Environmental ethics

Environmental ethics is about understanding how different things in nature have value and how, as people, we should treat them respectfully. It is asking us to think about how our actions affect the environment, such as the air, water, and animals, and if we should take steps to protect them. For example, we should think twice before throwing trash out the window, because it can cause harm to animals and make the environment dirty.
