As stated by Brennan (2002), environmental ethics is the discipline in philosophy that studies the moral relationship of human beings to, and also the value and moral status of, the environment and its non-human contents. Moreover, it is a theory and practice about appropriate concern for, values in, and duties to the natural world.

As a steward of God's creation, I chose environmental ethics because it teaches us the importance of nature and teaches us to respect all kinds of life, not just human life. Our stewardship of creation demonstrates our love for the Creator. We have an obligation to protect the environment. This includes not polluting the environment, reducing waste, and saving resources.

We are called to care for the environment, particularly the air, water, and land, as well as the minerals, plants, and creatures that make up our wonderful globe and whatever lies beyond. Environmental ethics emphasizes respect for all life forms and advocates sustainable activities to guarantee the well-being of our planet for future generations.

Ultimately, all creation is excellent, and it is our job to cherish, nourish, cultivate, and freely share everything that exists.

Anthropocentric Reformism - My Environmental Philosophy (Lynneth  Eulatriz BAB 4-A)

# data[].attributes.body
Among all the environmental philosophy presented in the reading material, I have chosen Anthropocentric Reformism.

Anthropocentrism is the belief that humans are the most important or central entities on Earth. Anthropocentrically, all creatures and objects have value only insofar as they aid in human existence and pleasure (Coffey, 2022).

I wanted this philosophy because I am convinced that we--humans--are the most dominant superior beings on this earth since we can think and act. As a result, we must be accountable for its proper upkeep.

Upholding this mentality, I now sincerely believe that we, as Earth's guardians, should safeguard our actions while preserving the environment for the betterment of ourselves and the planet.

Ecocentrism — My Environmental Philosophy (Liza Dawn Barrida BAB 4-A)

# data[].attributes.body
Human impacts are destroying the planet's biodiversity and ecological integrity at an alarming rate. With Ecocentrism, it gives hope for resolving the environmental crisis.

But first, what is Ecocentrism? It is an idea that represents everything in the natural world has its own intrinsic value and deserves moral consideration (Water Security, 2020).

I prefer ecocentrism mainly because it broadens the moral community and ethics away from being only about ourselves and encourages us to show respect and care for all life, including ecosystems. Furthermore, it serves as a reminder that all life is interdependent and that both humans and nonhumans are completely reliant on the ecosystem processes that nature provides.

Ecocentrism is the key to sustainable natural resources since it provides more long-term and future benefits to the natural environment. As a result, more emphasis should be placed by academics on the sustainable use of natural resources, not only for the present generation but also for future generations.

After reviewing the material or module, I chose Biocentrism as my environmental philosophy. According to the site that I've read on the internet, Biocentrism stems from the Greek words "bios" (life) and "kentron" (center) and is the ethical belief that extends inherent value to all living things. In other words, it argues that all living things have an equal moral standing and deserve equal moral consideration.

This theory suggests that humans are not superior to other living things and nature does not exist to be consumed by humans. Instead, it proposes the notion that humans are nothing more than one species among many that are interdependent, relying on one another for their survival and growth. In this case, I believe that when it comes to ethical and moral issues, all living things should be given similar importance as people.

I found this theory quite intriguing since it is frequently used to indicate
that the human mind can make
probability waves as large as the world collapse into a world that is precise simply by the human mind observing that world. According to my understanding of the term, biocentrism holds that biological consciousness, rather than the other way around, "creates" reality (the observable Universe).
Moreover, every species on this planet is in its own unique type of conscious pattern, with the delusion that we are consciousness witnessing patterns outside of ourselves.

Therefore, humans live as "Strange Attractors" in the midst of a chaotic continuum. When we examine patterns in the Universe, we may learn more about our conscious selves than about any perception outside reality.

Biocentricsm is an environmental philosophy that focuses on the living elements of the environment.
Biocentrism does not hold that humans are the superior species. Thus, it directly opposes the anthropocentric worldview which states that only human beings should be considered morally (Attfield, 2013).   It rather argue that all living things carry inherent value and deserve equal moral consideration. The idea of biocentrism is in line with what I believe that humans are part of nature and regardless of the usefulness to humans, all species have their right to exist for their own sake.
On the whole, biocentrism teaches the importance of humility that could help in developing habits and attitudes as to how we, humans, can interact with other living beings and gives us the idea that humans need to protect nature not because of the resources it provides, but because all living things have their intrinsic value.

After careful consideration of the various environmental philosophies presented in the learning material, I came down on biocentrism as my environmental philosophy. Biocentrism is a further term for life-centered environmental ethics. An ethical viewpoint that holds that all life is morally equal and deserves equal consideration. Individual species are viewed as components of the living biosphere, which examines the consequences of declining biodiversity on both small and large scales, emphasizing the inherent value of all species to the environment.

Biocentrism, unlike anthropocentrism, does not regard humans as superior to other species. It rather states that all living beings have inherent value and should thus be morally considered. From this vantage point, I support biocentrism, which holds that all living things are equal, regardless of the extent of their impact on the environment.

As a stance in environmental ethics that broadens the scope of morality far beyond traditional ethics to include all living creatures, it approaches all living beings with awe and humility that can help make human life more meaningful. Biocentric ethics aids in the development of a set of habits and attitudes that humans use when interacting with other living beings, emphasizing the importance of animals, plants, and other organisms.

Therefore, I believe and support the idea that all living things have an instinct to survive and keep the wholeness of life (Sarkar, 2012). Living by this notion, we support the preservation of biodiversity, animal rights, and the protection of the environment.

The environmental philosophy that I get to choose is the environmental ethics. Environmental ethics is the moral discipline of how humans must interact with the nature, on how to preserve it, how to properly use the materials, and more. This philosophy I believe is very crucial in maintaining the balance of our environment, which I personally want to extend the information not just to my fellow youths but also to everyone for the reason that the environment gives us so much in order for us to have a great life.

Environmental ethics can be a catalyst of change in preserving the nature amidst the growing population in the world where possible environmental issues may arise that may curb human existence if ignored. Therefore, as humans, we must take our part in embodying the discipline involving ourselves in the movement of taking care of what's ours.

Environmental ethics focuses on the moral status of the relationship between humans and nature. When certain entities have intrinsic significance, they should be treated with concern and respect for their rights and should not be overridden without reason.

Biocentrism is the ethical belief that focuses on the living elements of the environment, differing in that every living thing holds equal value, self-reliant for its benefit to humans. Biocentrism is founded on Darwin’s theories presume that we should include all individual living entities in our moral considerations. According to Taylor, a representative scholar of biocentrism holds that all living things have the instinct to survive and keep the entireness of life. Thus, all living things have the desire to survive, so those with life deserve ethical concern. Moreover, my perspective on this philosophy is all living things deserve equal moral consideration. An advocate for biocentrism that promotes the preservation of biodiversity, animal rights, and the protection of the environment. Expressing my beliefs that humans are not superior in this world, especially to other living things and nature does not exist to be destroyed by humans. Instead, it proposes the concept that humans are nothing more than one species among many that are interdependent, relying on one another for their survival and growth.

Anthropocentric Reformism is a philosophical viewpoint arguing that humans are the most important entity in this Universe. It also believed that value is human-centered and that all other beings are means to human ends. Thus, according to Mazzota and Kline (1995), nature only has instrumental value to us, and all natural resources should be managed to benefit humans even if this aim may be achieved at the expense of the interests of other species. Consequently, I have chosen this environmental philosophy since I also agree that humans has an intrinsic value and is superior to nature. They hold the power to either preserve or continually ruin our surroundings. Therefore, being one of the people inhabiting this planet, I stand with the choice to preserve, nurture, and protect our environment since it is our sole responsibility to take care of nature for the utilization of the future generation.

According to anthropocentrism, humans are the most important organism in the universe. As a result, all natural resources should be managed for human benefit, even if doing so may be at the expense of the interests of other species (Mazzotta and Kline, 1995).

Among all the environmental philosophies, I would prefer Anthropocentric reformism because it simply serves to demonstrate that humans are the only animals capable of flexible mass cooperation in this planet.

We frequently look for individual differences between ourselves and other animals. We want to think that there is something unique about the human body or brain that makes every single person significantly more intelligent than a dog, a pig, or a chimpanzee. However, the truth is that when compared to chimps, humans are shamefully similar. If you put a chimpanzee and I on a deserted island together to test who survives longer, I'd wager on the chimp.

On a communal level, we humans and other animals really diverge. Only Homo sapiens are capable of cooperating in myriad different ways with strangers. We can make up stories, disseminate them around, and persuade millions of strangers to believe them, so we can work with many strangers.

To conclude, while any remaining creatures live in an objective universe of waterways, trees and lions, we people live in double world. Indeed, there are streams, trees and lions in our reality. In any case, on top of that objective reality, we have built a second layer of pretend reality, containing fictitious substances.

Biocentrism philosophy is an ethical belief that every living form holds an equal ethical and moral standing. Biocentrism is a life-centric environmental ethics.
From the material provided and the learnings I acquired from supplemental sources on the internet, I came to realize that Biocentrism is the environmental philosophy that I believe in. As I reflect, I constantly believe that every living form should be respected and cared for as they are equally significant in the world we live in. I find sympathy, especially to animals and plants that are mistreated and abused particularly when utilized for excessive use and consumption that often humans have no consideration for. Although, the existence of the expression "battle of the fittest" developed from the theory of evolution by the naturalist and geologist Charles Darwin it is ethically arguable that we, humans should consider other living forms that exist and survive together with us in this world.Being in the highest hierarchy living form we have the capability and understanding to protect the environment, and biodiversity, and be a catalyst to end animal abuse such as animal testing for cosmetics, and conserving natural resources.

On my own understanding, Environmental Ethics is the philosophical study of the value of nature, such as the ecosystems, animals, plants, the human-nature relationship, and other ethical issues that arise. It is concerned with the natural environment, including its instrumental value of living organisms.

In this case, I chose this philosophy because I believe that humans directly and indirectly change and shape the natural world, unfortunately, in a negative way. I am fond of watching environmental documentaries on netflix such as Our Planet and the Predators, and they show me how important biodiversity is in our environment, and how they are slowly decreasing because of human-made actions. This negative emergence, then, was no doubt due to the increasing effects of technology, industry, economic expansion and population growth.  Knowingly, the job of environmental ethics is to outline our moral obligations in the face of such concerns. In a nutshell, my two environmental questions that must be addressed to every human being are: (1) What duties do humans have with respect to the environment? and; (2) Do we have environmental obligations for the sake of human beings living in the world today, for humans living in the future, or for the sake of entities within the environment itself, irrespective of any human benefits?

Now, the challenge starts here and I prefer to answer the call for a more safe and sustainable planet to live in.

Environmental ethics: giving value to everything that has an environmental value. This type of philosophy places a lot more emphasis on nature than on people. It demonstrates how people react to and interact with their environment. This tries to give moral support for and an incentive for environmental protection.

The relationship between people and the natural world is demonstrated. I have always believed that we can achieve stability since doing so will make human behavior more sustainable. We can raise awareness of our consumption behavior and recognize the effects we have on the environment. All living creatures should be connected to one another, and we should be able to respect them. As humans, being the highest form of life, we should be responsible for taking care of and rebuilding the damages we caused.

Among the environmental philosophy that has been given, I would choose the theory of biocentrism. The idea of theory of biocentrism revolves in the the belief that all living things has an equal rights to leave. Even though human beings are considered as the highest form of living things they are not measured as the superior of all. The origin of the existence of nature is simply based on the living organisms on it.

This theory interest me the most because I firmly believe that we are all created fairly. All livings things has its role to fulfill which also benefits other organisms. We can say that we are unique among others as we have the ability to critically think, however, our survival with in our surroundings is not possible without other living organisms as it will cause unbalanced biodiversity. Lastly, I  can link this theory to the saying "no man is island" because I believe that all living things are interdependently connected with each other without recognizing it strengths and weaknesses in their features.

# data[].attributes.body
Biocentrism, also known as the ethic of life, holds the idea that all living things deserve moral considerations. This philosophy articulates that all living things, simply by virtue of being alive, have moral standing and are, therefore, deserving of moral considerations to at least some extent.

This philosophy has emerged in response to the depletion of natural resources, population growth, and some more environmental issues that human beings have loosely taken care of. As an advocate for sustainability and the preservation of biodiversity, I recognize the values held within the concept of biocentrism. It is of no questioning that human beings have taken advantage of all other living organisms without considering the role each living thing holds in maintaining the balance in our ecosystem. Thus, with conviction and firm belief, I believe that biocentrism is a significant philosophy should we seriously uphold the preservation of the earth.

Biocentrism is an environmental philosophy that considers all living things have inherent value and should be considered morally. It is the idea that all living things are equal, and should be considered important.

I strongly believe with the concept of biocentrism as it mainly focuses on protecting life in nature. We, who are living creatures here on earth has the capability to sustain, preserve, and protect it. We should protect the living things, not just human life for the sake of sustainability, since human beings are not superior in this environmental philosophy, it practice equality for all living things.

In conclusion, biocentrism allows us to treat every living organisms fairly, it enables us to protect, and preserve our biodiversity, and encourages us to maintain equality for a peaceful stay. Let us be symbol of hope by supporting actions to stop deforestation, and stop animal testing.

A philosophy known as ecocentrism emphasizes the value of all living creatures, including the environment in which they live. As a concerned student, I believe that we must prioritize the significance of plants and animals including the non-living things like water and soil.

Deep Ecology - Stephanie Kyle Sorongon (BAB - 4A)

# data[].attributes.body
Deep ecology is a philosophical movement that emphasizes the intrinsic value of all living things and the interconnectedness of all ecosystems. It challenges the anthropocentric view that humans are the most important species on Earth and that nature is only valuable insofar as it serves human needs.

Deep ecology fits with my personal values and views, hence I chose it as my environmental philosophy to tackle. Whether or not they are beneficial to humans, I think all living things have intrinsic value. Furthermore, I think it is our duty to preserve and care for the natural world, not just for our personal benefit but also for the benefit of all other living beings.

The philosophy of deep ecology is difficult, yet it is also motivating. It challenges us to reconsider how we interact with the natural world and to take steps to ensure a more sustainable future for all. For further allusion, deep ecology is based on the following principles: (1) The well-being and flourishing of human and non-human life have value. (2) Richness and diversity of life forms contribute to the realization of these values and are also values in themselves. (3) Humans have no right to reduce this richness and diversity except to satisfy vital needs. (4) The flourishing of human life and cultures is compatible with a substantial decrease in the human population. (5) Present human interference with the non-human world is excessive, and the situation is rapidly worsening. Policies must therefore be changed.

Consequently, Deep ecology, in my opinion, is critical for tackling today's environmental concerns. Climate change, pollution, and deforestation are all interrelated issues that cannot be addressed separately. We must take a comprehensive approach to environmental conservation that considers the well-being of all living creatures. Alongside with this, deep ecology also calls into question the anthropocentric belief that humans are the most significant species on the planet. This viewpoint has resulted in the exploitation and devastation of nature. Deep ecology evokes us that we are all part of a bigger ecosystem and that we must conserve and care for it. Circles us to the concept of how this environmental philosophy can help us create a more sustainable future for everybody-- a philosophy founded on the value of all life, compassion, and interdependence.

Ecofeminism is a philosophy that creates a balance and a significance on woman who sacrifices a lot to care ,to protect and to save the life of its child.

Environment is associated with a mother because whatever happens a mother would always choose the welfare of his child and the child is us. No matter what we do even if we pollute it, we cutdown some trees, we destroy it our mother continues to provide our needs. Even if they experience oppression, destruction and all the pain they dont even deserve they are still willing to give the best to her child.

Ecofeminism in conclusion gives justice and gives the spotlight to the woman, to our mother earth that we should protect because of all those sacrifices she has made.

Ecofeminism is an excellent environmental philosophy because it recognizes the interdependence of all life and the significance of safeguarding all living things, including women and girls. It opposes the anthropocentric concept that humans are the only beings with moral standing, arguing instead that all living things have a right to exist and thrive.

Ecofeminism also criticizes the patriarchal system, which it regards as the primary cause of many environmental issues. Ecofeminists claim that the patriarchal system has resulted in the exploitation of women and nature, and that this system must be challenged in order to create a more sustainable and equitable world. Here are some examples of ecofeminist activism: (1) The Chipko movement in India, where women hugged trees to prevent them from being cut down. (2) The Green Belt Movement in Kenya, where women have planted over 51 million trees to help combat deforestation and desertification. (3) The Women's Earth Alliance, which is a global network of women working to protect the environment and promote social justice.

Moreover, Ecofeminism is of the most significant environmental philosophy because it offers a unique viewpoint on the human-nature interaction. It encourages us to consider the environmental consequences of our activities as well as the needs of all living creatures.

Ecofeminism, I believe, is indeed an essential environmental concept because it forces us to reconsider our connection with the natural world. It reminds us that we are not apart from nature, but rather a part of it. It also encourages us to consider the long-term effects of our activities as well as the needs of all living beings.

Biocentrism states that we all individual living entities should be included in our moral consideration. Despite our superior intellect, human beings cannot exists apart from nature. My views in environmentalism is in line with this philosophy as it extends our ethical consideration to encompass the entire web of life on earth, not just ours.

By recognizing the intrinsic value of all living beings and extending our ethical consideration beyond human interests, biocentrism creates a mentality that places significance in every part of our ecosystem. It emphasizes that each has a right to exist and flourish. By doing so, it places significant weight on the balance of interconnectedness of all living beings and our actions can have far-reaching consequences on the entire ecosystem.

Eco-centrism is an ethical worldview that recognizes the inherent value of all life forms and ecosystems themselves which are in turn to be considered morally. The term itself simply means "ecology at the center". I selected this environmental philosophy since eco-centrism is essential for the sustainability of natural resources and the Earth. It has a broad scope and fosters a long-term and future effects towards natural environment. Eco-centrism extends a respect and care to all life forms and that life is interdependent and that humans and nonhumans are absolutely dependent on the ecosystem processes that nature provides. This environmental philosophy is nature centered therefore we should not cause extinction on other species, protect habitats and ecosystems because resources are limited and we need the Earth more than it needs us.

If I were to choose my environmental philosophy, it would be Social Ecology.

Social ecologists explore hierarchy and domination in culture, and ecofeminists criticize the patriarchy in these hierarchies (Kheel, 1991). It also explains why culture is both the problem and the solution, both the curse and the hope.

As a rational and observant human being in this world, I consider that every action has a repercussion. It's more of a cause and effect situation. In this light, I believe that ecological problems stem from social problems. In this way, we could see how large-scale social structures of contemporary capitalist governments are intrinsically linked to the existence of unfair, hierarchical relationships in human society, which they perceive as the root cause of environmental degradation. They contend that small-scale, decentralized communities and production systems are the most environmentally friendly type of political and social organization.

My Environmental Philosophy -Anthropocentric Reformism (Villareal - BAB 4A)

Anthropocentric reformism is a philosophical and ideological approach to addressing environmental and societal concerns that prioritizes human interests, well-being, and values. It recognizes humans as an important aspect of the environment and argues for changes and activities that emphasize human wellbeing and progress while simultaneously taking
environmental sustainability into account. Anthropocentric reformism stresses the importance of human well-being, rights, and aspirations in policy formation and decision-making. Its goal is to increase human well-being through social, economic, and political reforms. While emphasizing human concerns, anthropocentric reformism recognizes the importance of sustainable environmental practices in ensuring that current and future generations can achieve their requirements. It promotes resource management that is appropriate, pollution control, and conservation activities. Moreover, it strives for growth that helps both humans and the environment by striking a balance between economic development and environmental protection. Adopting green technologies, sustainable development techniques, and renewable energy sources may be part of this.

This philosophy resonates with me and my principles because anthropocentric reformism provides a paradigm for attaining balanced progress by fulfilling human wants and desires while protecting the environment. It tries to prevent resource exploitation, which could lead to ecological imbalances and a reduced quality of life. Anthropocentric reformism ensures that future generations have access to critical resources and a habitable environment by implementing sustainable practices. Furthermore, this strategy encourages long-term thinking and planning, with the goal of achieving a sustainable future. Prioritizing human well-being and ensuring equal distribution of benefits corresponds with social justice values. Anthropocentric reformism works to close gaps and guarantee that progress benefits all members of society. A more human-centered approach garners more public support and participation. People are more likely to support policies that prioritize their well-being and provide visible benefits to their lives, encouraging active involvement and regulatory compliance. Because it recognizes the relevance of human interests, anthropocentric reformism provides pragmatic solutions that are more likely to be accepted and implemented. It recognizes the realities of human communities and economy while seeking good change. Overall, anthropocentric reformism strives to achieve a balance between human demands and environmental sustainability, with the goal of creating a society in which human growth and ecological health may coexist together.

BAB 4-A

Upon scrutinizing the material uploaded about Environmental Philosophies, one thing that catches my attention and really connected to what I am firmly believing pertaining the environment is the Radical Ecology. This Philosophy considered "radical" as it maintains what people found in the origin of environmental problems, and trying to promote social changes and paradigm shifts as stated by Mazzotta and Kline 1995.

This philosophy is very close to my heart since in this evolving age and people are  technologically inclined, I can say that we are more knowledgeable about what is happening in our environment compared to generations before. Our access to education is one big factor to better know what is really happening to our environment and what problems are arising. The issue of air pollution, water pollution, and land pollution is not new to us especially to me as a student since it was already discussed in academe and many articles published online regarding the existing problems.

So to connect with the Philosophy of Radical Ecology, I myself is an advocate of social changes and shifting paradigms to help our Mother Earth by simply recalibrating my ways and redirecting my visions about planet. To exemplify, I always make sure to throw my garbage in proper trash bins, practicing the 3Rs, and participating in tree planting and community clean-up drives.  My simple but sweetest act to help nature is one way for me to fight for our planet  Earth. Today, I am starting this movement within myself because I know tomorrow my micro-effort will create macro-effect to our beloved planet Earth.

Ethnocentrism- My Philosophy in Environmental Science (Arañador BAB 4-A)

# data[].attributes.body
Ethnocentrism is a complex and pervasive phenomenon that has profound implications for our understanding of the world and our place in it. As a graduating student of a public university, I have come to appreciate the significance of adopting an open-minded and inclusive perspective when it comes to ethnocentrism. My philosophy on this matter is rooted in the belief that ethnocentrism, while a natural human tendency, should be critically examined and transcended for the betterment of society.

Ethnocentrism, at its core, involves the belief in the superiority of one's own cultural or ethnic group over others. It often leads to prejudiced attitudes and discriminatory behavior, which can have detrimental effects on intergroup relations and social harmony. I believe that it is crucial to recognize that ethnocentrism is a product of social conditioning and limited exposure to diverse cultures. By acknowledging this, we can take steps to counter its negative effects through education, empathy, and cultural exchange. I have chosen this philosophy as "my" environmental philosophy because I see it as a fundamental aspect of creating a more inclusive and equitable global society. Just as we strive to protect and preserve our natural environment, we must also work to protect and preserve the diversity of human cultures. By embracing multiculturalism and transcending ethnocentrism, we can build a more harmonious world where people from different backgrounds can coexist and thrive together.

In conclusion, ethnocentrism is a deeply ingrained aspect of human nature, but it is not an excuse for prejudice or discrimination. As I graduate from this public university, I carry with me the philosophy of challenging ethnocentrism, promoting cultural understanding, and striving for a world where diversity is celebrated rather than feared. This philosophy reflects my commitment to a more inclusive and harmonious global community, where individuals from all walks of life can come together to tackle the pressing challenges of our time.

# data[].attributes.body
Ecofeminism is a philosophy that links the domination of women and the exploitation of nature, arguing that these forms of oppression are interconnected and stem from patriarchal ideologies.
As a feminist, I believe it encourages a rethinking of our relationship with nature, recognizing its disproportionate impact on women, especially in developing countries. Ecofeminism empowers women to take a stand against environmental degradation, recognizing their unique experiences.
It offers a fresh perspective on addressing climate change challenges, reminding us that environmental conservation is not just about preserving nature but also ensuring social justice and gender equality.
