Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Environmental Ethics is that sub-field of philosophy which seeks to articulate reasons why non-human “nature”-usually writ large to include collective entities like species and ecosystems-has value that cannot be reduced solely to economic value.

Detailed explanation-2: -Environmental ethics is a branch of applied philosophy that studies the conceptual foundations of environmental values as well as more concrete issues surrounding societal attitudes, actions, and policies to protect and sustain biodiversity and ecological systems.

Detailed explanation-3: -Environmental ethics asserts that other animals, plants, and the elements (such as water, soil or air) are morally significant, and that humans have responsibilities to act so that their needs are met too.

Detailed explanation-4: -Through environmental ethics, humans are considerate of not only themselves but also plants, animals, and every object in nature. With the moral grounds and values that environmental ethics provides, humans are responsibly using nature and not in a way that results in resource degradation and destruction.

Detailed explanation-5: -Environmental ethics is related to environmental philosophy and defines what is right and wrong at ecological level. It is more a moral binding than legal compulsions. Practicing environmental ethics is, therefore, left to an individual.
