Discussion questions
There exists a conflict between development of an economy and environmental sustainability (Great Britain, 2004). Economic development led to environmental decline and this cannot be sustained forever. Economists argue that the growth rates of the economic activities may not continue indefinitely on a planet with limited resources with less capacity to deal with pollution. Additionally, in striving to ensure economic development, the environment is being affected.
The role of ethics in environmental sustainability is to address the global problems that are affecting the environment and at the same time ensuring economic development (Great Britain, 2004). The role of ethics here is to ensure economic progress with environmental conservation put into consideration.
