Arne Ness's deep ecology

This text is about how Arne Ness’s deep ecology relates to pollution and wildlife. We have worked with Arne Ness(picture), and read texts about pollution and wildlife at school.

Arne Ness mean that everything that is alive has the same right to unfold and to be in the world, and that we have to treat animals and the nature in a good way. In the texts about wildlife and pollution, there were some examples that show how many people do not treat the nature and living creatures the way Arne Ness thinks we should. One of them is that the African elephant have almost disappeared, because people kill them to get their tusks. This is against Arne Ness’s deep ecology, because he thinks that people should not kill animals if they do not really need to. Arne Ness thinks that we should ask ourselves: Is this really necessary? Is it essential for me? If it is not so important, and it can destroy the nature or the habitats for other living creature, we should not do it. Another example is all the deforestation in the rainforest. It is bad for the climate and animals that live there. If people were better at recycling, there could have been less deforestation than it is today.

I think that there are many similarities between Arne Ness’s deep ecology and “the golden rule” witch is important in many religions. The specialty of Arne Ness’s deep ecology is that it counts for all other living creatures. People should listen more to Arne Ness’s thoughts, and think over what they do, and how important it is for them. If we do not, the climate can change in a bad way for many people.
