Abstract
As a society, we strive for progress and we have come to view progress as a state of productivity and consumerism. Along this road of mass consumption and industrialization, we have negatively affected the environment; in the U.S. alone, 24 acres per person is consumed but only 4.5 acres are biologically productive worldwide (Earthdaynetwork N. Pag.). Conclusions based off of statistics foresee an ecological disaster in the near future if we persist to be unconcerned about how we affect the environment (See Appendix). It's obvious that humans have and are continuing to destroy the earth, but can we define this destruction as an immoral act?
