近年來全球環境問題不斷，全球暖化、海洋垃圾、森林消失或是空氣污染等等，這些事件的發生看似離我們遙遠，與我們自身沒有直接相關，但我們卻常常忘記一個事實──這些事件的發生正是在我們生活的唯一地球上。既然這些事件與生活密不可分，那麼身為地球上一份子的我們，對於發生於地球上的這一切，應該要認真、深入的思考，並在反省後做出適當的調整行動。 是此，本文以人作為出發點，從人與大地以及人與動物的角度探討與我們自身最有關的環境倫理議題，透過這樣的討論與思考，試圖找出人與大地或是動物間一個最適當且平衡的關係。而這種兩面兼具考量的模式，便與永續發展所追求「雙贏」的概念與精神雷同，因此本文也從永續發展中的雙贏模式探討其實踐的可能性與面臨到的問題。最後，透過這些環境議題的討論，以關愛與實踐兩大面向作為目前面對全球環境問題時可依循的解題。 本文藉由各種環境倫理議題的探討，期望更多人能透過這樣對地球的沉思，看清許多生活中已經超越限度的事實，並試圖提高大家的環保意識，進而在行動上有所作為，改善我們對待地球的方式。 ;In recent years, environmental problems such as global warming, marine debris, deforestation or air pollution have happened constantly around the world. The occurrence of these natural disasters seems to be far away from us, and to be not directly related to our daily life. However, we always forget the fact that these environmental problems occur on the only earth we live on. These environmental crises are inseparable from our daily life. Human beings, as a member of the earth, should think seriously about all that happen on this planet and take appropriate actions. This paper starts with the discussion on some issues in environmental ethics related to our daily life from two perspectives: human-land and human-animal. Through the discussion, this paper attempts to find an appropriate and balanced relationship between human and land, or between human and animal. This “win-win situation” is also the core concept of sustainable development. Therefore, this paper also takes into consideration the possibility and some potential problems of sustainable development. Finally, care and practice are given as the solutions for current environmental problems around the world. By exploring various environmentally ethical issues, this paper expects that more people can, with the consideration for the earth, realize excessive things in our life, and attempts to increase public awareness about the environment so to make further efforts to improve the ways we treat our only earth.
