Environmental Pollution & Ethical Practices
Sujata Roy Abhijat
Changing pattern in seasons and atmosphere is indicating towards environmental crisis. Now, the time has come to rationalize there relationship between humans and the natural world, rapid industrialization and effect on natural resources, current practices and environmental ethics. It should be examined that in what ways can the human species corporately and individually respond to environmental issues, and to what extent should we ? The role which could be played by ethics should also be examined.
It is generally agreed that the Earth's regulatory systems are finely balanced. Any alteration to that balance will require a response mechanism, which will return the system to equilibrium. The climate is perhaps the best example of the complexity of this balance. The Earth's climate sustains life-but only certain kinds of life within certain fairly narrow bands of climate. Change the climate and you change the possible life forms. Most of the previous extinctions of life were the result of climate change. Climate change can be raped. The ability of living things to respond appropriately to it is not. The most clearly identified problems for the Earth's climate are the possibility of global warming and the destruction of the Earth's ozone layer. Climate change itself may be caused by pollution; Humans are also a part of nature, and their activities produce by-products. These products then become part of the system, and sometimes they are problematic. It is also difficult to decide when pollution is carried out on purpose or is an unavoidable part of human life.
Irregularity committed in various form of environment is regarded as pollution. The pollution is creating imbalances among different environmental factors. One might be considered a crime, the other unavoidable- both are harmful. Pollution takes different forms, and depending upon the circumstances has
