Deep ecology
Arne Næss
Arne is one of the big Norwegian philosophers. People look at him as the founder of deep ecology. One thing Arne Næss said, which I think’s very important, is that we look at nature as a place we can visit. But aren’t we in it all the time?  We use it and we destroy it.  The deep ecology says that we must empathize with the animals and the plants. Arne Næss meant we act racestic against other animals.
Imagine
Imagine a violent bully ring. A bully ring, with your best friend in the middle. Would you do anything about it? I’m sure you would. You know the earth is having  hell now, but what do you do? Do you throw your trash on the ground or drive your car to the supermarket two blocks away? 
If everyone could do one little thing every day for the enviroment, we might make the earth a better place to live in.

responsibility
The etical model of responsibility needs to be brought out of the dark. We have a responsibility for our descendants. If we keep on produsing and using more than we need for our daily life, the consequences will be grave for our descendants.


consequences
We are using up earths resources and polluting the whole ecological system. We have to use the ethical model of consequences in our everyday life. Like when we go shopping, we might look at the tags in the clothes, “made in China”? Can it be child Labour or a low paid worker? And that is not all! The transportation! We transport so much clothing over the whole planet, is that necessary just to get it cheap?
