Show that care for the environment contributes to health, well-being and sustainable development

A. Deep Ecology - It is an environmental ideology that advocates, irrespective of its instrumental


usefulness to human needs, the intrinsic dignity of all living things, plus the transformation of existing
human cultures in conjunction with those concepts.

B. Social Ecology – Founded by activist Murray Bookchin, social ecology is a social approach that takes an
economic, reconstructive, and group outlook on culture. Although advocating direct democracy, this
philosophy aims to recreate and change existing viewpoints on both socioeconomic problems and
environmental factors.

C. Ecofeminism - Ecofeminism is a branch of feminism that sees environmentalism as central to its


analysis and practice, and the relationship between people and the world.

In order to examine the interactions between humans and the natural world, Ecofeminist theorists draw
on the idea of gender.

By pressuring the other to submit to what is superior, dominance functions. Nature is to be tamed,
ordered and subjected to the superior's will.

Treatment, conservation, protection of biodiversity and civilization are valued by these ideas. Our search
for the meaning of life must not only explore our own survivors, but also appeal for social and ecological
order.

A German humanistic philosopher, Enrich Fromm (2013), argues that it is about time that mankind can
understand not only itself, but the world surrounding it as well. Our biological desire for survival, as
human beings, turns into selfishness and laziness. He believes that it is also inherent in us as people to
flee the jail cell of egoism.

D. Demonstrate the virtues of prudence and frugality towards environment

The concepts suggest a modern culture that facilitates the development of a 
new human being that would encourage environmental prudence and moderation or frugality.

These are some of the functions of Fromm’s envisioned society:

1.The willingness to give up all forms of having in order to fully be.

2. Being fully present where one is.


3. Trying to reduce greed, hate and illusions as much as one is capable.

4. Reaching the full growth of oneself and one’s fellow beings as the supreme goal of living.

5. Not deceiving others, but also not being deceived by others; one may be called innocent, but not
naïve.

6. Freedom that is not arbitrariness but the possibility to be oneself, not as a bundle of greedy desires,
but as a delicately balanced structure that at any moment is confronted with the alternative of growth
or decay, life or death.

7. Happiness in the process of ever-growing aliveness, whatever the furthest point is at that fate permits
one to reach, for living as fully as one can be so satisfactory that the concern for what one might or
might not attain has little chance to develop.

8. Joy comes from giving and sharing, not from hoarding and exploiting.

9. Developing one’s capacity for love, together with one’s capacity for critical, unsentimental thought.
10. Shedding one’s narcissism and accepting that tragic limitations are inherent in human existence.

This society's values transcend all party lines to conserve nature requires concentrated conservation,
action, political will, and business funding. If any, these industries agree to the same priorities, and the
likelihood of reform appears to be considerably greater, especially because the majority of people are
less and less involved in party affiliation and slogans.
