Sustainability ethics is the developing effort to ascertain the prerequisites for sustainable use of the planet and also determines the environmental literacy level necessary to persuade people to live sustainably. However, the 21st century lifestyle emphasizes development, which is associated with economic growth, population growth, and increase in material possessions. Currently, these practices are major obstacles to sustainable use of the planet.
