“…What we need to avert this, I believe, is the adoption of a different moral outlook. Neither utilitarianism nor deontology can account for the wrongness of wantonly destroying our environment [17]. What I propose is that change in our attitudes toward nature will come from a different approach to morality.…”

Environmental ethics, among other things, is concerned with our attitude toward nature. By nature here I don't mean anything other than the waters, the trees, non-human animals-the environment. It is, moreover, concerned about what Rosalind Hurst house call "the belief that a fairly radical change in the way we engage with nature is imperative." In what follows, I want to propose a virtue-oriented approach to environmental. My aim is to begin a discussion about the potential advantages of adopting a virtue-based approach to our outlook toward the environment.

The virtue of compassion is grounded in one's shared relation to others and allowing oneself to be appropriately affected by the suffering of others.…”

“…It has also been theorized that vegetarians motivated solely by weight are less inclined to adopt the more restrictive levels of veganism as it requires higher levels of self-control, commitment, and adoption of a strict lifestyle (e.g., vegans being unable to use leather, suede, and fur; Alvaro, 2017;Curtis & Comer, 2006). This theory has been supported by previous research who found that both non-vegetarians (Curtis & Comer, 2006) and semi-vegetarians (Perry, Mcguire, Neumark-Sztainer, & Story, 2001;Timko et al, 2012) displayed higher levels of dietary restraint than vegetarians or vegans.…”
