What is Environmental
Ethics?
Environmental
ethicsis
a
branch
ofethicsthat studies the relation of human
beings
and
theenvironmentand
howethicsplay a role in this.

Environmental ethicsbelieve that

humans are a part of society as well as
other living creatures, which includes
plants and animals.

Business Ethics
Business ethics relates to the acts of the people
who engage in business.
According to Business Ethics and Corporate
Social Responsibility by Father Roa (2016), all
living things are dependent on the earths
natural resources. Therefore, man has moral
obligation to preserve the environment and
respect the natural order of things.

The business industry no doubt is the primary

user of the earths natural resources. In
everyday course of a business an enormous
quantity of energy and raw materials are
being used in the manufacturing of products
and services.

When energy and resources are used , the earths

natural resources are depleted. Businesses benefit so
much from the environment in order to produce the
products, goods and services they need to prosper. In
turn, businesses have the corporate responsibility of
preserving and maintaining the balance of nature
because once natural resources get depleted, these
can never get replaced no matter how magnificent
the power of the mans brain is.

Phthalates and BPA

We have known for several years that phthalates and BPA, both used in
the manufacture of plastics, can leach from flexible tubing, vinyl flooring,
squeezable plastic toys, vinyl gloves, and carbonless register receipts.
But recent studies suggest the largest source of phthalate and BPA
exposure in humans is through the food supply. Canned food, processed
food, meat, and dairy products are exposed to BPA and phthalates
during processing. It may be that most phthalate and BPA exposure in
food occurs in processing and packaging, before consumers bring it
home. This is concerning because animal studies show that these
chemicals function like hormones in our bodies and can lead to problems
such as a version of attention deficit disorder, cancer, reproductive
health, and increased allergies. Federal regulation may be the only way
to control contamination of the food supply by phthalates and BPA.3
