章节摘录

版权页：   插图：   2.5 SOCIETAL ENVIRONMENTAL ETHICS  The envirnmental ethic expressed by a society is a product of the decisions and choices made by a diverse range of social actors that includes individuals,businesses,and national leaders.Western developed societies have long acted as if the Earth has unlimited reserves of natural resources,an unlimited ability to assimilate wastes,and a limitless ability to accommodate unchecked growth. The economies of developed nations have been based on a rationale that favors continual growth.Unfortunately,this growth has not always been carefully planned or even desired.This"growth mania"has resulted in the unsustainable use of nonrenewable resources for comfortable homes,well-equipped hospitals,convenient transportation,fast-food outlets,VCRs,home computers,and battery-operated toys,among other things.In economic terms,such"growth"measure out as"productivity."The Indian philosopher and statesman Mahatma Gandhi said."The Earth provides enough to satisfy every person's need,but not every person's greed."
