Environmental virtue ethics

Environmental virtue ethics is a branch of environmental ethics that focuses on the character and virtues of individuals in relation to the environment. Rather than just evaluating actions by their outcomes or following strict rules, it emphasizes cultivating virtues like respect, humility, and care towards nature. This perspective encourages people to develop a personal and moral connection to the environment, fostering an attitude of stewardship and responsibility. By nurturing these virtues, individuals can contribute positively to environmental conservation and sustainability, promoting a healthier relationship between humanity and the natural world.
