ENVIRONMENTAL ETHICS
ETHICS
• Ethics define the code that a society or group of people adhere to
MORALS
• Morals delve into right and wrong at a much deeper level, which is both personal and spiritual.
* Ethics relates to a society whereas morality relates to an individual person. Ethics relate more in a professional life
while morals are what individuals follow independently.
* Environmental issues also involve a consideration of ethics and morals. Since ethics is different from moral, it is
quite difficult to determine what is right and what is wrong
