In the aricle, the auther said,"A sane environmentalism is entirely anthropocentric: it enjoins man to preserve nature, but on the gounds of self-preservation". I am quite amazing to see this sentense, as always I was tought that" Hey , girl ,to protect our environment . We have only one earth", which indicated nature was over man. But thinking it deeply, I found that what the article elucidates was actually true.
The reason why we want to protect our nature or our earth is not to show sympathy over other creatures. If yes,our ancestors would not make so many creatures be extinct. What makes us now take actions to protect the environment is that the bad ecosystem or pollution has threatened our humans' own benefits. Assume that we have found another planet that is exactly the same with the earth or is much better than our earth and it is costless to move there, will you appeal for the urgency to protect Mother earth any more?
Somewhat I am disappointed about our morality. Hoho, I need to establish my confidence upon human.

Thanks, Chen Pei, for your comment. It seems that you agree to some extent with the author's view, or not?
Yes you honestly confessed the author is to some extent right...I do that too...liked it!But you need to correct some sentences...have a check.
hello,humans are the perfect product of Nature with the angel side to enjoy this life and evil side to survive...hichichic,I am messed too...
Haha, I like your funny idea of disappointing about humans' morality.
I totally agree with you
I agree that what we do to protect nature is usually for our own benefits. Maybe human never really thinks to live in balance with nature if it will not give benefit to them.
Yes , i agree too ... Nice reading your topic.....your discussion is although a bit open but i do like it ... :D
