"Environmental ethics is theory and practice about appropriate concern for, values in, and duties to the natural world." (Holmes Rolston III) Essentially, the principle of right or good conduct on a solid part of the surface of the earth. Land ethics should come logically to us, rather than out of economic values or rights. We are all equipped with a conscience - with logic - to do something about OUR land.
