Abstract
Environmental ethics is the part of ethics that inspects questions of moral right and wrong relating to the management, defense, or endangerment of the natural resources available to us. Environmental ethics falls under the universal ethics theory. It does not seem fair to people from the future that we are consuming the world's resources now and leaving just a little to them, and that we're leaving the world polluted and in a situation worse than it once was. This can be explained through three different perspectives: the utilitarian perspective, the deontological perspective, and our duties to others based on our rights. This chapter explores environmental ethics.
