"Deep Ecology" is a phrase that Arne Næss, a norwegian philosopher, came up with. We have worked with him and his philosophy in RLE. In English, we have worked with Pollution. I'm going to write a short text about these to subjects, comparing them with eachother.
Arne Næss thinks that all creatures living on this earth should live in harmony. "Deep Ecology" is about lives. Every creature's life is worth something. Humans are too selfish. Deep Ecologists think that we have to adjust ourselves to the nature's needs as well, and don't just think about ourselves.
We get a lot from the nature. Houses can be made out of wood. Plants can give us food and other needs. But what about the animals' needs? Everything is a circle.
The rainforests, for instance, is threatened. We cut down trees, and it gets smaller and smaller. Humans erase the homes of many kinds of animals and insects, and a lot of these animals, and plants too, are extinc.
Animals are also threatened because we hunt. We want their body parts, their fur. We think it's pretty, and want to keep it. Therefore, we kill the animals. We kill the animals because we are so greedy - we want what we can get, whatever it takes.
Some endangered kinds of animals are the African elephants, buffalos, and the black rhinos. They can get extinct because of people killing them. We kill them to get their tusks and their horns. Arne Næss didn't want pople to kill animals if they don't need to, so this is not something he would've liked. The panda is also extinct.
It's easy for us to get food elsewhere. And we can use something else to replace the horns and tusks. They are not something we need, like water and meals.I think people need to understand the Deep Ecology, understand what Arne Næss wanted to say. Stop killing these animals. We do not need to. Slowly but steady, we are destroying the world. Everything is related - every kind of animal or insect, human or plant.
