Since the growth of Industrial culture and the industrial age which generally includes the mass production of plastics, construction materials and reliance on fossil fuels we have seen a great increase in pollution throughout the world. Although nature can also be destructive and emit similar chemicals in to the air and streams around us it is prudent and constitutes the most basic philosophy to consider the benefits and dangers of industrial technology.
Nobody really doubts that there are harmful chemicals in the environment these days although there is disagreement as to severity and extent.
As good philosophical method begins with a description of the state of affairs we can start then with the environmental scene around us. The philosopher asks what the world of industry is like then really.
The Contract of sustainability.
The contract of sustainability is an agreement between the environment and the individual life forms. The environment provides shelter, sustenance, medicine, and all of the things we find necessary for survival. Conditions on the planet are variable and sometimes there are lacks and sometimes there are bounties.
The contract is simple. In return for an environment that provides for our requirements, we mange the environment respectfully and thoughtfully. The contract is explicitly important for humans due to our recent technological progress.
Basic elements of the contract concern:
1. Bio chemical events, resources and management.
2. Treatment of animals individually and at the specie level.
3. Care for the natural land formations.
Common themes of the contract are
1. Biodiversity.
2. Animal/vegetable consumption.
3. Environmental Impact: beneficial and damaging
Of the world cultures the contract is well established traditionally yet industrial culture often runs into difficulty even on simple principles.
Economic structures affect the perception of role of the contract of sustainability. Considering economics is a type of model of the environment it is important to recognise clearly the importance of environmental stability and sustainability.
The advancement of the sciences might suggest that the contract is somewhat vague and imaginary. Rather it is the contract that permits science to take place.
Generally speaking the key is balance and moderation and this is generally the classical philosophical position.
