Environmental Ethics


            This blog post written by Gavin Van Horn was a very interesting post. In this essay, he focuses his points on environmental ethics and the definition of being humans. He sees that the entire planet as a team; every animal and every plant is a member of the team. In this team, there is no letter “I”, there is no individualism, because we are a whole. In this world, everything is constantly changing; humans are simply the “constant process rather than final product” (Van Horn). To make the survival of the entire team last longer, humans need to realize that we are only beings-in-relation not beings-in-control. This means that human survival also relies on others who we share the planet with.
