dc.description.abstractEco-ethics, used in the local and regional context, are considered the essential foundation for sustainable use of the planet and consists of a series of value judgments to which humanity is committed. Sustainability ethics, used in the global context, is a utopian vision that requires living harmoniously with nature, which will exact harsh penalties on species that exceed Earth s carrying capacity and violate nature s laws. In order for eco-ethics and sustainability ethics to have multigenerational value, they must be congruent with the best scientific information.en
