The document discusses humanity's moral obligation to care for the natural environment. It argues that all life on Earth is interconnected and that humans must adopt a holistic, ecological approach to address environmental problems. Specifically, it says that humans should involve and assist nature rather than act independently. The document provides examples of how pesticide use disrupted ecosystems and how forests can help mitigate climate change through carbon sequestration if deforestation is reduced. It emphasizes that environmental issues require collective action from all parts of society. Individual changes in lifestyle, like reducing plastic bag use, can help, but governments also need strict laws and community involvement to solve problems at their root.

Ethical Obligation to our Biotic Community
Nature provides us with the things soothing our health and has
infinite beauty to serve comfort and pleasure to our eyes. When
it comes to giving, our biotic community selflessly bestows us
with unlimited benefits, from food to medicines; it barely keeps
anything to itself. However, when we give, we deserve
something in return, and so does nature. It is a moral
responsibility of every individual to follow certain practices to
pay back to the environment, which can be done by conserving
and protecting the environment and reducing pollution.
The protection of our environment is our moral responsibility.
Our ethical practices and consideration can govern it. According
to the EPA statistics, an average American produces almost 6
pounds of trash, among which only 1.5 pounds is recyclable. It
means about 4.5 pounds is a complete waste. One person
produces this much waste, keeping in mind the Earth's
population, it is not a tall helpful and is extremely damaging for
the environment (Tiseo). Accountability is an attribute
neglected by most people, which also has certain reasons.
Producing unnecessary trash is not seen as something unethical
generally by the people, and the sense of responsibility and
accountability is not even promoted through different means. It
is because the alternative that causes damage to the environment
is competitively cheaper than the recyclable ones. The need to
build a perspective that highlights the damage caused to the
planet is something that society lacks. Another perspective that
indicates that human being is the most superior of all the
species also blur the vision of people towards other species,
2. making them consider others not important enough.
What people fail to understand is that the lives of all the
organisms are interlinked with each other. Human beings and
other organisms on this planet share a food chain. If any of the
organisms' life is affected, it is automatically going to harm the
food chain. Causing harm to one is not going to benefit the
other. Humans and the food chain's involvement has been
profound, as We have brought drastic changes due to their
practices. They have caused enormous damage by fishing,
hunting, and largely polluting the environment. It has not only
caused damage to life on land but also to life in water.
Global warming is one of the largest damages done by humans
to the planet. The release of harmful gases in the air and
harmful chemicals in the water has caused enormous losses by
damaging the O3 layer and water life. We non-decomposable
things in our daily life and produce much waste out of it. This
waste lives longer than an average human and is neither
recycled nor reused (Denchak). Due to this, it is often thrown in
oceans and empty lands. It causes many problems like
temperature changes, making it hard for many species to
survive. Degrading the environment is never going to cause
positive changes in human life and will definitely result in
unfavorable outcomes. More activities like oil and trash spills
disturb the weather to a huge extent.
From the food chain to medicines to calmness, we obtain almost
every single thing from nature. Clean water, mirror, soil
maintenance, healthy ecosystems, climate regulation, nutrients,
medicines, raw materials, food, water, shelter, furniture, and
even clothes are obtained from nature's elements. It is without a
doubt extremely important for our survival. All of these things
constitute and form the base and foundation of a healthy human
life.
In order to awaken an ideology comprising of a more
responsible and accountable attitude, it is our responsibility to
emphasize practices that promote a healthy ecosystem. For this
ideology to be effective, self-realization is extremely necessary.
3. Unless a person does not understand the negative contribution
to the environment and its consequences, a sense of
responsibility cannot be effective in him for the long term. For
a long time, the planet Earth has been communicating all of the
miseries by earthquakes, floods, cyclones, and other natural
disasters. We need to be our own judge because all the change
starts within. Promoting the idea of using recyclable and
reusable items, especially in daily life, needs time. Today, a
sustainable lifestyle is a healthy lifestyle because it will be
beneficial in the long term. We need to change our way of
living and switch waste-producing practices with sustainable
ones. Volunteering for cleanups in the community can also
improve environmental sustainability (Chan).
Many plantation and cleanup campaigns are carried out on both
smaller and larger scales, which promote a sense of
responsibility, making people more careful and considerate
towards the environment. One of the most important practices
that are neglected and considered as less important is water
conservation. As per the EPA statistics, an average family
wastes almost 180 gallons of water per week. Not fixing
household leaks wastes nearly 900 billion gallons of water
annually. Some estimation also indicates that more than 50
percent of landscape water is wasted due to over-watering
runoffs and evaporation. Hence, we must conserve water. Many
animals die every year by ingesting plastic or getting stuck in it.
Reducing plastic usage and replacing it with environmentally
friendly alternatives would cause an enormous change in both
terrestrial life and life in water. There are many alternatives to
toxic chemicals. Using natural disinfectants can reduce harm to
the environment and prevent humans' contact with harmful
substances. They are environmentally friendly and just as
effective. Moreover, using energy-efficient products will cause
a change in greenhouse emissions. Along with that, unnecessary
energy usage should also be reduced (Evans).
Moreover, deforestation is also one of the biggest contributors
to environmental damage. Cutting off huge portions of forests
4. to use the land commercially is a selfish move. Deforestation
has altered the complete environmental behavior, which has not
been helpful for human life either. The planet's temperature is
rising to a great extent day by day, causing extinction to
extraterrestrial life and health problems to humans (Chakravarty
20). Industries also produce tons of waste and chemicals, which
are then dumped in oceans and seas. This water goes through
the process of evaporation, resulting in acid rains. It is one of
the biggest examples of humans causing damage to them. Thus,
the industries need to develop and adopt less harmful practices
so that the environment and eventually the human life can be
saved.
As per the pace that humans have in damaging the environment,
it is not too hard to state that human life would also go extinct
in the future. Due to a lack of decency and self-realization,
humans are planting a trap for themselves, which they are
unable to see due to being blinded by their selfishness. What
they consider as saving money today is going to make them
spend billions later. No money is worth killing a life, regardless
of it being human or animal life. Thus, it is important not to
neglect our moral obligations and foresee the upcoming harms
we would be causing to ourselves. Not only will it save us from
the upcoming damages, but it will also encourage a sense of
responsibility and make us better morally. All the practices
would uplift human lives and standards of living along with
improving environmental quality. We should interact
responsibly with the environment to avoid the degradation and
destruction of natural resources. Collective action would for
sure improve lifestyle for the long term. The three sustainability
pillars: the society, the economy, and the environment; all they
can be saved. These pillars provide safety to the profit, the
planet, and also the people. We need to ensure that all the
environmental protection steps are taken responsibly by
evaluating every practice's effect.

Think like a Mountain
Pope Francis asserts, "Nature cannot be regarded as something
separate from ourselves or as a mere setting in which we
live…We are part of nature." Pope Francis gave the concept of
holism in his speech. It means that every unit or piece in the
world should be considered a part of the ecosystem. From
single-cell to gigantic organisms, everything is interconnected
8. in the whole biosphere. Thinking like a mountain describes that
man has intervened and taken control of the balance in the
environment. Man tries to take services and products from the
ecosystem, which leads to the devastation of nature and
destroys its balance. Human beings need a collective approach
to deal with issues in the environment. They need to assess all
the aspects to design a strategy to overcome environmental
issues because it requires complex and detailed planning. All
components of nature share a relationship that performs tasks of
higher complexities. Due to this, the environment has become
the foremost concern of the world. It initiated several debates
on how to deal with environmental issues. Some people think it
is the government's responsibility to solve the problem, while
for some, environmental problems are so vast that an individual
cannot resolve them. Nature controls and balances itself through
various tools. Therefore, rather than thinking like an individual,
humans must appreciate Profundo's interconnected nature of the
ecosystem and develop an ecological and holistic approach to
deal with the environmental issues of 2020.
Human beings need to think within the ecological context to
solve environmental problems. Human beings should utilize
intricate web found in the environment to heal its deteriorating
condition. For example, in the past, chemicals were sprayed on
crops to kill insects and pests. During that period, almost 30
different pesticides, calcium arsenate, nicotine, and pyrethrum
were in use. The reason to use these chemicals was to minimize
the impacts of famine. Pesticides and insecticides improved
crop production, but after few years, it has been seen that nature
started to face novel problems. Bird habitat faced the
consequences of artificial means to increase crop production.
Pesticides cause population decline, safe habitat loss,
behavioral changes, and local extinction. The negative impact
of pesticides is observed in the whole food chain. Insects, birds,
animals, and human beings affected negatively,even the soil's
chemical concentration was disturbed. Muller discovered the
insecticidal impacts of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT)
9. and received the Nobel prize to highlight the negative impacts
of DDT (Shigaki,7). These problems compelled human beings to
think ecologically to solve problems associated with the
environment. So, scientists worked on organic ways to increase
crop production. They suggested farmers use beneficial insects
like praying mantis, green lacewings, and lady beetles to prey
on the crop pests. Farmers used attractive habitats such as
water, shelter, and food to lure good bugs into their crops.
Hence, it is deduced that the ecological context should be
considered while finding the solution to any environmental
problem.
Humans should withdraw themselves and involve nature to
overcome major environmental problems. They need to assist
nature in solving environmental issues. Earth's temperature is
rising day by day due to increased greenhouse gas concentration
in the air. Carbon dioxide concentration has increased at a rate
of 31% since the industrialization era. Fossil fuels burning and
deforestation are some of the major causes of carbon dioxide
increase. The involvement of nature can decrease global
warming because all components of nature connect to gain
balance. For example, forests act as carbon sinks. Forests
continuously exchange carbon dioxide with the atmosphere.
Forests capture carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere to
prepare their food and release oxygen for human beings. Many
studies reveal that tropical forests store almost 50% carbon
dioxide and decrease global warming (Pugh, 5). Human beings
need to reduce deforestation so that forests can effectively
perform carbon sequestration. If they want to cut the trees, they
should not cut the whole tree but cut upper logs or parts of the
tree. In this way, human beings can fulfill their needs and do
not intervene in carbon sequestration. Therefore, it is necessary
to allow nature to show its healing power.
The holistic approach is essential to solving the deforestation
problem of the world. One of the major causes of deforestation
is cutting wood to meet the demand for energy consumption.
Governments need to implement strict rules and regulations to
10. prevent people from cutting wood. Strict legislation is possible
to implement in urban areas, but it is difficult to convince
people in rural areas to stop cutting woods. They will argue that
wood is their basic necessity; it provides the heat in cold
weather and energy to cook their food (Muttaqin, 2019). They
have no alternatives to protect themselves from cold winds but
to burn woods. So, the first government provides inhabitants of
villages with an alternative. Governments are involving locals
to design and implement rules that fulfill the whole
community's requirements, not one particular section. It shows
different sections of the community are needed to bring together
to solve an issue. All stakeholders' active involvement assists
the government to make effective legislation to combat the
environmental issues. Governments need to consider nature and
people to remove concerns about the effectiveness of the
strategy. Hence, every individual's role is critical to play an
effective part in the environment.
For a single individual, it is a tedious task to save Mother
Nature. Environmental problems require a collective approach
from society, so minor alternations in our regular lifestyle can
eradicate nature's detrimental cause. Thinking like a mountain
focuses on collective effort. For instance, Plastic shopping bags
consumption can decrease if we take recycling bags and into the
markets. Such an approach will solve many environmental
problems. It will minimize air pollution due to the burning of
plastic bags. It will also solve the clogging problem of the
urban areas because plastic bags clog the water drains.
Recycling bags will also reduce deforestation because woods
are a major component to produce paper bags. Recycling bags
will reduce paper bag consumption. As stated earlier,
individuals cannot entirely solve a problem but have a major
contribution. In contrast to the individuals, governments need to
play a critical role in preventing activities that disturb the
environment. The government imposes strict laws that are
abided by its people. For example, countries can completely be
banning the usage of plastic bags. However, the government
11. needs the support of its authorities to implement the laws. The
government of Bangladesh has recently banned plastic bag
usage, and it is producing practical ramifications. Thus,
collective actions from the state and people are essential to lead
a healthy environment.
It is concluded that current environmental problems also require
holistic strategies. The solution to environmental problems lies
within the environment. Whenever human beings try to interfere
in the environment's natural healing process, it exacerbates the
situation. It is necessary to involve ecological context to
minimize the negative impacts of climate change. Every time
the world faces an environmental problem, all of us should work
together to reduce the impact of environmental problems.
Governments should consider all stakeholders and local people
to design a strategy. Interconnected nature increases the
complexity of the environmental crises, but it also provides
cushy ways to diminish environmental issues' negative
ramifications.

The Most Significant Step towards Sustainability
The extinction of Earth is imminent. We have observed
deteriorating results regarding our planet's condition. Countless
time, effort, and money have been used to research ways to slow
the Deterioration and reverse its effects. However, the results
have not been very promising. It forces us to look for
alternatives for our survival to ensure the future of humanity.
Sustainability is one approach that has gained popularity and a
huge supporter base. Sustainability quite literally means to
remain persistently. In the current context of the term, it refers
to the capability of the biosphere and humanity to synchronize
them to co-exist.
One of the most critical threats that we face in contemporary
13. times is that of climate change. There is not a single place on
this entire planet that is immune to this contagious crisis. The
spread of climate change is escalating in our faces, rising
temperatures, degradation of the ecosystem, food, water
insecurity, natural disasters, economic insecurity, conflict, Etc.,
and we seem to stand impotent in the face of all these
adversities. With the Paris climate accord of 2015, 197
countries agreed to set emission thresholds that would mitigate
the rise in global temperatures by 1.5 ° via reaching net-zero
greenhouse gas emissions or absorbing even more carbon as
generated by 2050. So far, only two states, Gambia and
Morocco, have reached their goals, while the major generators
are falling low or refusing to acknowledge their objectives. The
climate crisis, as destructive as it stands, can be resisted.
Climate change is a consequence of economic growth and
improvement. It is evident that the world economy prospered
more than tenfold post-world war II. Economic growth is an
after-effect of burning fossil fuels, gas, Etc., but with these
fuels propelling the economy, they also have a devastating
effect on the environment.
The observed concentration of greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere is roughly 40% higher than the Industrial
Revolution's onset. Hence, to avert the devastating effects of
climate change, sustainability is of utmost importance, and it is
about time to take a collaborative approach in combating
climate change with the help of environmental stability
(Dobbins et al.). Environmental stability can be described as the
maintenance of natural capital, and hence humans must come to
terms with the fact that the biological environment has certain
restrictions to it (Goodland).
The most significant step this current generation can take
towards stability must be based on sustainability principles:
society, environment, and the economy. While many steps can
be taken to counter this problem, narrowing the possibilities
down to one often strengthens our position and remains focused
on the task at hand. One of the most significant steps that the
14. current generation can take towards reaching sustainability and
averting the effects of climate change is to take a strong stance
on the environmental and social problems and take considerable
relevant actions to reach their objectives. Many people think it
is rather nonsensical to take an individual approach to cater to
global problems, but as we come to think of it, the development
of these globally imposed threats is nothing but increments of
individual behaviors that result in a huge outcome. Hence the
reverse is also true; if individual actions can cause destruction
and degeneration, they can also produce solutions. Whatever
most of us will do within the next several decades would dictate
what might occur in the next several centuries.
In recent research and surveys conducted by the LIM college,
90 percent positively responded to whether millennials and Gen
Z will make steps to persuade businesses and the government to
create more sustainable products and change the practices that
cause harm to the environment (Best And Mitchell).In addition
to vocalizing their concerns for the production of sustainable
consumer products, our generation extends their concerns
beyond products and permeates into the realms of human rights,
equality, and other social issues. It is empirically evident in the
research conducted by Fleishman Hillard; the research signifies
that approximately 80% of consumers are likely to raise
questions against certain practices of a company if it is not per
their beliefs and ideals. Later, in the same research, it is
identified that nearly 60% of consumers have certain
expectations from the businesses to reciprocate their concerns
regarding social issues that prevail within the businesses (Best
and Mitchell). These researches make millennial and Gen Z's
position rather clear since they make up for a huge consumer
base for businesses, so they tend to have a huge influence on
how these corporations function, keeping in view the
environmental issues.
Businesses and corporations in the present day all function on
the classical economic theory of maximizing capital by treating
the environment and its constituents as mere means of
15. production and disregarding the role of nature in the
maintenance of life, with this generation being aware of the
adverse effects of the economic ploys, an advocate for a change
by putting forth the idea of ecological economics in the hope of
persuading business to take a rather sustainable approach.
Ecological economics fundamentally believes in giving natural
capital equal value like other forms of capital. It remains firm
on the fact that the natural capital is narrowed in its scope, and
the economic activities must be following this restriction. For
example, one of the practices that ecological economics
advocates for is the polluter pay principle, which states that
businesses and corporations that are responsible for pollution,
which causes implications for the environment and human
health, must bear the costs of the pollution thereby, holding
them accountable (Kibert and Charles).
This generation recognizes the dire need to counteract climate
change and support sustainable policies and practices. As
indicated by the Pew study conducted in 2018, it is identified
that 81% of millennials identify the adverse effect of global
warming, and among that 81%, 65% recognize human activities
as a primary cause. This study also indicated that the
generation also considered the need to cater to the needs of
climate change in the poll conducted (Geiger).
We have seen numerous people of the current generation take an
active part in the protests and strikes that advocate for climate
change and aim to persuade the government to implement
policies and take action against this global threat. Active
advocacy is one of the significant steps our generation can take
to intervene in the global climate crisis. Some people might
argue about the immediate impacts of taking part in a protest or
advocating in a strike and deem them useless efforts but the
events in the past years suggest otherwise. In 2018 a wave of
global protest broke out, with tens and thousands of students
joining the movement against climate change following the
example of teenage activist Greta Thunberg. Although
receiving backlash from some, these protests were highly
16. appreciated by New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern
(Woodward). The purpose of mentioning these cases is to solely
substantiate that taking action against social and environmental
issues has a huge impact, which often goes unrealized.
The result of individuals of this generation collaboratively
advocating and taking a stance against issues regarding the
global climate crisis can lead the stakeholders and businesses to
consider sustainable business practices. They take out the time
to consider sustainability problems and their consequences on
social and environmental degradation. An interview with the
World Business Council for Sustainable Development CEO
revealed that the drivers for the change are our new generation
motivated to collaborate with businesses that advocate for
sustainability. Secondly, consumers' role is an important factor
of change since they demand the companies to substantiate their
claims of sustainability, and lastly, the motive to change for
some businesses is competition (Hicks). The world is in dire
need to recognize that the climate crisis is a human rights crisis
to bring sustainability regarding the climate crisis. One cannot
ignore these two reals' overlap by drawing out a false
dichotomy with fallacious standpoints. For example, if a
country is suffering from a detrimental pollution crisis, it
cannot isolate the adverse effects of its pollution on huma n
health. Put aside this false dichotomy and consider the reality
that, indeed, every threat posed by the climate crisis is a social
crisis.
There is a dire need to take a step towards sustainability by the
current generation since it makes up more than half of the
consumer bases for business, and most expectedly, most of
which would be future leaders or business owners. Hence, it is
at this time and age are the prime responsibility to take a
personal stance against the issue that concerns the environment.
It is rather risky to assume without any concrete evidence that
individual actions do not constitute a change and that only huge
actions can instigate change. The amalgamation of individual
efforts into a collective action drives change in any situation.
17. Incremental steps can bring about systemic change. If it is not
for a single consumer to voice their opinion against the
business's biodegradable practices, we would not have seen
businesses adapting sustainable models. Individual practices
help to signify the need for change. Big change cannot come
about by themselves; they need a Kickstarter, and that
Kickstarter is the individual choice that amalgamates into
building the capacity for collective action.
The most significant step that this generation can take towards
the climate crisis is to take a strong stance individually and use
the influence to advocate for change in practices and policies
that cause the environment's degradation. To advocate for the
adoption of sustainable practices and take actions based on
sustainable development goals. Therefore, making choices that
are inclusive, integrative, advocate, and sustainable will help to
eventually realize that the climate crisis is inevitable as it can
be avoided by bringing change on a larger scale with small
incremental actions.
